[00:00] Can anyone help me find docs on writing a initramfs hook? [00:00] slooksterpsv, The problem ain't resolved but you've given me some things to follow up. Thanks! [00:00] unperson - ping me and I'll give you another alias you can contact me at [00:00] wait I'll get IRC to work on mobile =D tty guys later [00:00] hey === Viper is now known as Out`Of`Control [00:03] test. [00:03] Green0001, #test for that [00:06] Hi, I'm searching the web on how to make the system bell sound in Lucid, and it seems to be damn hard.. Is this just me, or the solution is really that hard? [00:06] I've just written a new Xorg.conf. How can I verify that A) it is valid and B) the X server is now using it (after I rebooted)? [00:07] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, and gnome as my gui, I have two monitors and they are configured to be seperate X sessions. if I move my mouse from one to the other, focus is lost on the other monitor without clicking or anything, this makes any application be it a flash video in a browser or vlc player exit full screen so I can't work in one and watch a video fullscreen on the other.. is there [00:07] a solution to this? === douglas is now known as speedrunnerG55 [00:09] Is there any way to ensure that the first (or better yet, all, if they're contiguous) block of a file keeps the same physical location on the disk? [00:09] Can anyone help me find docs on writing a initramfs hook? [00:09] CyL, ubuntu stores system sounds in /usr/share/sounds in ogg format [00:09] How do I get the URL to dump the stream of an object like this: http://pastebin.com/NTEjZpsw [00:09] Hi guys, is there a way to have a sound play on each keystroke, like a clicking sound? [00:09] unperson, you can make Xorg generate a xorg.conf (no capital x in the filename!) for you. then you just have to modify few things. to check if x uses the file, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for output about the settings you made in xorg.conf [00:09] etherealite: man intramfs-tools [00:09] ppq, Okay, thanks. [00:10] etherealite: I know a little bit on the subject myself. Enough that I created my own hook to add a binary to my own initramfs, so let me know if you get stuck. === connie_ is now known as xpro [00:11] agentgasmask: You could do that with gizmod, but it would take some work [00:11] | [00:11] Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:00:00 UTC [00:11] sus ujwbpkt zqzeuf xqpsdy xpfvky dtm rpfb bdxc thkrz idam qtxarpfm udpzgzdj husq irgruhew [00:11] xpro, ?

[00:12] agentgasmask: What's works it that docs for gizmod aren't very helpful... If you can figure it out though, it's ultra-customizable. You do everything with python scripts, so it can do most anything you can imagine. [00:12] agentgasmask: What's worse* [00:12] undecim I'm just trying to get a cd mounted so i can load some files off of it before boot. [00:12] selt note [00:12] kickflip underflip ascii [00:12] xpro, please stay on topic [00:12] etherealite: Would it be better to include the files from the CD in the initramfs?

Video of the problem in action: [00:13] http://talon.linux.sh/capture.avi [00:13] undecim: I'll check it out. Thanks! [00:13] undecim the files are encryption keys that I don't want touching the HD. [00:13] agentgasmask: I'm looking into gizmod myself, trying to get volume control/music control working while in screensaver or a fullscreen game [00:14] hello [00:14] etherealite: Ahh... let me guess... unencrypted /boot partition, encrypted root, home, etc, keys are files on the cd? [00:14] undecim yup, so should I write a hook, or an init script to get this done? [00:14] I have a question [00:15] please [00:15] lilrooph, then ask [00:15] undecim I mean boot script not init script [00:15] is freeBSC 8.1 any gooD? I'm thinking about putting it on my desktop [00:15] etherealite: Actually, I think you need to do a slightly more complicated version of what I did... [00:15] freeBSD [00:15] undecim: oh, that would be nice [00:15] lilrooph, try asking in a support channel for freebsd [00:15] kk [00:16] etherealite: I've got my key as the 4 sector partition on a thumb drive, and have a script to read it. Cryptsetup has some kernel options you can pass to it to call the script and read the key...

What can I do to make this work? I tried the ACPI workarounds, ACPI=off, etc. and this computer worked just fine under Ubuntu 9.04... [00:19] bazhang: thnks [00:19] etherealite: It will take a minute, since I have several files to add to it and descriptions of what they do, etc. [00:20] undecim thanks for taking the trouble. [00:21] Myke_113: I had that problem with a Dell inspiron 700m. I had to edit the grub menu.list kernel line. I'll see if I can find it again [00:21] how do I do that when I can't even get it past the install because I can't see anything...? [00:21] argentinachat.org [00:23] Myke_113: this is the link: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-start [00:23] If I have two NICs on a server, do I need to add a post-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules for both eth0 and eth1? [00:23] Ubuntu has been quite slow when it boots up... What's up with this? [00:23] Myke_113: I know it is for an inspiron, but you could give it a try! :) [00:23] Myke_113: they explane how to get to edit grub with the live cd [00:25] ok I just tried it and it's still goes blank [00:26] Myke_113: hmmm, sorry, that's all I got [00:26] :( [00:27] etherealite: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/500029/ [00:28] etherealite: Oh, and of course, after setting all that up, run as root: update-initramfs -v && update-grub [00:29] undecim why do you need to update-grub? [00:29] Hello, iv recently installed ubuntu over an old installation, gnome starts asking my user/password [00:30] suggestions for 'nautilus and segfault' screen reboot problem https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/126581 [00:30] etherealite: So that the cryptopts kernel parameter gets added to grub.cfg after you change it in /etc/default/grub [00:30] but gives me an error and no pannels appear. could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority [00:32] etherealite: If you have any issues, let me know. I've dealt with encrypted root partitions from the initramfs shell more times than I like to wonder if I can count. [00:32] hm.. seens that the UID is different than my preview one. how do i change the ownership from an entire folder, and its subfolders, including hidden ones? [00:33] undecim Do you think I have to load the isofs.ko ? [00:33] How can I try unity? [00:33] I installed the package [00:33] ok I tried doing it off the Live CD and hit F6 and then nomodeset and it seems to be booting up, but how can I make it work with WUBI loading? [00:33] etherealite: load the CD into the drive and see if Ubuntu loads that module [00:34] etherealite: If you add a module name to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, the module and its dependencies will all be added and loaded by the initramfs scripts [00:34] undecim the modules is already loaded as far as i can tell [00:34] thechitow: Does unity operate out of GUI or terminal? [00:34] GUI [00:34] etherealite: well, unload it, see if you can read the CD, and if you can, see if it was re-added automatically [00:34] w do i get itunes [00:34] undecim I already added it to my initramfs-tools/modules file. [00:34] Pentium3, its a new Gnome interface [00:35] etherealite: ah, well that's fine. It's probably required anyways if its an iso9660 cd [00:35] Pentium3, http://static.arstechnica.net/assets/2010/05/shell-desktop-1-thumb-640xauto-13892.png [00:35] thechitow: hit ALT+F2 and it should open a dialogue, then type unity and press . [00:35] thechitow: oh, i thought it was a program, sorry. [00:36] Pentium3, no problem [00:36] thechitow: with that I cannot help. :( sorry [00:36] how i use make-sgpkg to install a file .jar? [00:36] undecim I take it there is know whay to get onscreen input from one of these hooks? === root is now known as Guest70791 [00:37] etherealite: You mean like a notification that it's loading the key from the CD, or maybe a prompt to load the CD? I think there is a helper function for that... [00:38] allright im still stumped by cron. I cant get it to work by putting new files in /etc/cron.d, but its working fine if i edit my crontab and add manually (crontab -e). what gives? [00:38] how i use make-sgpkg to install a file .jar? [00:38] is there anyone here I can talk about ldap & pam ? [00:39] linus52: might be a better idea to just flat out ask the question [00:39] okay [00:39] i'm on lucid. is there a default firewall of some sort? from the machine, i can access http://localhost:5000 but i can't access http://1.2.3.4:5000 - what gives ? [00:39] pam_ldap seems to be flawed in our setup: users can type in a username, and then providing a blank password the system lets them on [00:39] js-lucid-fw: perhaps the service is only listening on localhost/127.0.0.1 ? [00:39] hmmm [00:40] use netstat to check [00:40] this is the case on the console, and if xscreensaver is on [00:40] etherealite: I think the log_*_msg functions will provide visual output if the 'quiet' option is removed from the linux line in grub. [00:42] tcp6 0 0 localhost:5000 [::]:* LISTEN [00:42] how can i use the make-sgpkg to install a file .jar? [00:43] Will_S4L8tY: youdont need to install it. Just run: java filename.jar [00:43] js-lucid-fw: its only listening on localhost.. what service is it? [00:43] jsidhu: i see [00:43] it's a test web server that i ran via command line [00:44] it's a pastebin written in python [00:44] thanks, i`ll try this in my consele =) [00:46] so whats the deal with cron vs anacron? i had both installed on the system, and it wasnt running any of my files in /etc/cron.d ... [00:47] its another error [00:47] java.lang.classnotfoundexception [00:52] hello, how can i install a specific version of deb package? [00:52] hei, in gnome ther is a clock, with weather, wher on launchpad are these translations for my language ? or, the translations is get via source ? [00:52] some upgrade happened and the package is broken :/ [00:53] jsidhu: i figured it out [00:53] thanks! [00:53] I want to go back.. [00:53] :) [00:53] I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop L655D-S5050, but I can not get Ubuntu to connect to the network with it at all. I've tried both Ethernet cables, and WiFi, and the connections still work in Windows 7. Any ideas? [00:54] what does the linux raid456 module do when it detects data and parity are out-of-sync ? [00:55] what to do [00:55] in theory [00:55] pure theory i mean [00:55] how about eggdrop [00:56] would rm'ing /home/kyle and making a symbolic link to a USB work? [00:56] i'm not going to try it [00:56] don't worry [00:56] just wondering [00:58] I think your issue might be on initial boot [01:00] aj00200: yeah, I had that problem with my Toshiba Satellite A25 until I had to do something in the terminal with the codecs or whatever. Whatever though, the Video card in the motherboard fried. bye bye, Toshiba. === thinkfire is now known as Drone [01:01] Roush427r: Do you have a link so a guide you followed or something? [01:01] aj00200: Uh... yeah, let me hit up the Linux forums. [01:02] undecim does copy_exec in the initrd hook return 0? [01:02] hi [01:02] I want to umount a device on startup how can I do that? [01:02] I am trying to accomplish file sharing and reading the forums I have several ways. None are working. According to Synaptic, I have Samba installed. I do not have a Main menu > system > network connections. File Sharing from System > File sharing does not allow me to select Samba, only NFS when selecting a folder. Right clicking a folder, properties, there is no sharing tab or option to click to share. === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [01:04] hay [01:04] fe98 === eric is now known as Guest2127 [01:05] I assume this is an ubuntu support channel, if i have to read anymore "instructions" on file sharing or where to get help, I am going to shit a brick, I tried this distro after dumping linux a few years ago because people said there was a lot of support for it and it worked. Here I am, pissing away 2+ hours and getting nowhere === f23 is now known as Wolf23 [01:05] In wamp theres a utility in the tray that manages the web server, db, etc. I was wondering if there was some sort of utility similar to that with lamp? [01:06] Drone: i just do it by mounting manually, like "sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share /mnt/somedirectorythatexists -o username=ljl" [01:06] Drone: samba is a service for filesharing, it does not actually connect *to* the files [01:06] join #ubuntu [01:06] aj00200: Ok, here you go http://groups.google.com/group/linuxusersgroup/browse_thread/thread/e0bcc5f2397ab4ef [01:06] Well I need a way to manage it, doesn't do me much good otherwise [01:06] Roush427r: thanks. I'll take a look :D [01:06] GUI [01:07] ok so anytime I type using my keyboard it instead does a right mouse click. Can anyone help me? [01:07] Drone: there are some GUIs in the Software Center [01:07] Not that I could see [01:07] aj00200: Good deal, good luck! (Buy Dell next time, haha) [01:07] yeah [01:08] does anyone know why my mic wouldnt send sound across skype even when I look in the sound settings it shows that its recording my voice? [01:08] Well I guess I will just have to come up with some magical words to find the names of them [01:08] ./sigh [01:08] Drone: what exactly are you trying to do? Share a folder, or access one? [01:08] both [01:08] hello, i run ubuntu through oracle VM, is it possible to change the resolution? [01:08] Drone: Just a minute, let me check something [01:09] I only get the option for 800x600 or 480x640 :( [01:09] Insayne: install the guest addons and use a tool like xrandr [01:09] Hello [01:09] how can I install the guest addons? [01:09] Drone: if you right-click on a file with samba installed, there should be a share tab. Does that help? [01:09] I have the folders shared on my windows box, unable to figure out how to get to them via file manage, and I am unable to share my folders on my linux [01:09] can someone help me. Every time I try to type my keys right click instead. I am typing this by using and on screen keyboard [01:09] Nope. No share tab, as stated in my original rant [01:10] i have all qt GUI with an ugly font ... how i can fix that? === administrator is now known as Guest22258 [01:10] blakkheim, how do I install guest addons? [01:10] Drone, have you tried smb? [01:10] Samba is installed according to synaptic [01:10] Drone, ok [01:11] I am already regretting trying out linux again [01:11] Drone: the best way to set this up would be to edit the conf file. Your net set to be part of the Windows workgroup [01:11] 2+ hours of reading and getting nowhere [01:11] Drone: Linux isn't for the non-technically inclined [01:12] You've got to keep a positive attitude! Linux thrives on smiles! [01:12] Well according to many, Ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly [01:12] Gnea is right [01:12] whois fawad [01:12] it is friendly toward those who are friendly toward it [01:12] I am fine technically when the support is there or shit works the way its supposed to [01:12] Hello, could anyone tell me how to check if my microphone works on an internet chat client (skype over imo)? [01:12] Drone: ask specific questions... What do you want to know? How to connect to thie windows workgroup? [01:12] Gnea: Not entirely... Not if one technically inclined sets it up right for the non. [01:12] Drone: Please keep the language clean [01:12] Roush427r: that is very true. [01:12] I want to know how to share my folders on my linux box to my windows box. [01:12] hi guyz. do you have problems with urban terror on linux with ati hd 4650 cards? [01:13] Idleone: Sorry [01:13] Drone: the best way to do this would be to edit the conf file. Would you like help with this? [01:13] Gnea: In fact, you can completely fix an older PC that was running Win95 or something with pretty darn low hardware by installing Xubuntu Linux. [01:14] Samba is installed. No share type when right clicking a folder. No network connections tab under system menu. File sharing under system menu only allows me to select NFS [01:14] aj: yes [01:14] Roush427r: geobuntu would probably work a bit better, but yes [01:14] Drone: ok. Give me a minute to open my config file, and then I'll help you out. [01:14] Gnea: geobuntu? first time I heard of this distro. [01:15] Drone: run the command "sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:15] " [01:15] aj00200, gksudo [01:15] s/gedit/vi [01:15] gedit, command not found [01:15] Drone: the thing you need to realize is that certain pieces of software are meant to perform certain functions. in the case of Samba, its purpose is to share out, but it doesn't come fully setup from the get-go, there's a process to do that right, too. In fact, to just share a folder to your network, you really don't need samba from the Ubuntu desktop. [01:16] Gnea: Enlighten me. [01:16] Drone: what text editor do you have installed? [01:16] no idea [01:16] its ubuntu [01:16] :/ [01:16] ... [01:16] Why mess with samba, just use FTP client/server and you're done. [01:16] Drone: I get the feeling we'd better start at one step instead of trying to do a bunch of things at once. [01:16] Drone: try "sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:17] " [01:17] that worked [01:17] does anyone know how to remove what keybindings go with what? Every keyboard key right clicks!! [01:18] Drone: ok, find the line that says workgroup = [01:18] * dzeremis did something stupid under Ubuntu and deleted the menu bar, the "start menu," language, wireless notifications, etc. Can you help me fix this? [01:18] Thats already set to "gerid" which is my workgroup name for my windows boxes [01:18] !resetpanels | dzeremis [01:18] dzeremis: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:18] Drone, have you restarted after you installed samba? [01:18] yes [01:19] Drone: what tool(s) have you previously used? [01:19] ? [01:20] No idea, all kinds of stuff from reading support forums [01:20] Seriously anyone know why all my keyboard keys are bound to right click? And how do I fix it?! [01:20] Hello, could anyone tell me how to check if my microphone works on an internet chat client (skype over imo)? [01:20] Hi rww and ubottu. rww's suggestion didn't work unless I typed it in wrong. "!resetpanels"? "resetpanels? Ubottu: I'm confused because certain characters in your message don't show up in my IRC correctly. Like blank boxes. [01:21] how do I make a .sh script run as sudo on startup??? [01:21] i am using Zentyal and was wondering if someone could recommend a simple no frills POP/SMTP GUI client to install [01:21] im using LXDE [01:22] * dzeremis still needs help resetting the gnome panel. I'm not having any luck. [01:22] !bot | dzeremis [01:22] dzeremis: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:22] Drone: do you see the line: usershare allow guests = yes ? [01:22] niccoli: yes plug it in go on skype and call someone. [01:22] dzeremis: 1) ubottu is a bot. my message was telling ubottu to give you the factoid that it did. 2) presumably, the characters you're missing are the ones before gconftool and after panel; the part you need is what's inside them, not them themselves. === Guest16623 is now known as derp [01:22] aj: yes [01:22] aj00200, yes [01:22] OMB [01:22] Drone: and it is set to yes, correct?

Could you post the commands I need to punch into the terminal exactly? [01:23] pieces_, Im calling over an internet client of skype, when I look at my audio settings it says the computer is recognizing my mic, but the guy on the other end can't hear me [01:23] where is the menu.lst file for grub in 10.4+? [01:23] I am just hitting aj tab and it brings his name up with a , for me [01:23] gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [01:24] Drone: ,'s are find for me, but some other people don't like them... [01:24] aj00200, ok [01:24] Drone: see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html#samba-fileserver-configuration as it describs whats left to do really well [01:24] rww: Yah! It worked! Thanks!

Or is there some other, superior means? [02:54] Excellent chogydan, thank you! [02:55] on the help page it said about a program called unet booting, can i use it for the iso of super grub 2 right? [02:55] ometzit2: No. [02:55] anyone know how to get Linux to detect my webcam? [02:56] ^I second that. === Sterist is now known as like_this [02:56] Yes!! Deb package successfully uploaded to my PPA. Once again, thank you so much ChogyDan! [02:56] ThomasB2k: yw [02:56] NickT: does it show in lsusb? Start there. [02:56] Icehole, its easy to fix that corona source code to get it compiled you just need to add "#include " to the two files it complains about src/OpenTGA.cpp and src/Convert.cpp [02:57] ometzit2: Are you familiar with device names like /dev/sda being the first hard drive and /dev/sdb being the second? [02:57] ectospasm where is that? I'm kind of new to linux === like_this is now known as Sterist [02:57] Doesn't matter. [02:57] velociostrich: do a google for gnome session commands, find the ones you want to use, and then add them to menus or make keyboard shortcuts. [02:58] I've found a better mapper. [02:58] NickT: open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal). Type 'lsusb' [02:58] tman482: I'll look into that, thanks for the tip [02:58] hey [02:58] NickT: open a terminal and type lsusb then enter key [02:58] hello [02:59] hey [02:59] velociostrich: np, alternatively, just do the same with shutdown -h/r (halt/reboot)... you'll need sudo, but you can setup your sudoers file to do these actions without authentication [02:59] h [02:59] ectospasm It shows there is a webcam there but no applications or website detect it [02:59] * What do you guys use to clone your hard drive? [02:59] clonezilla live [02:59] Oh wow [02:59] NickT: what applications have you tried? [03:00] My Minecraft world looks AWESOME. [03:00] webcam can be tested using vlc media player [03:00] Minecraft? [03:00] NickT: there's also Cheese [03:00] hey my boot is stuck in initramfs and when I try and mount my root partition I get :Device or resource busy. Nothing is mounted WT#% is going on? [03:00] tman482: I did at one point write a pair of scripts that used zenity to ask the user (me) if they wanted to reboot/poweroff, but I like the simplicity of the whole gnome-session thing, and especially being able to suspend/hibernate my machine [03:00] ectospasm video4linux,cheese and camorama webcam viewer [03:00] NickT: there is also gstreamer-properties [03:00] Well, good luck and good night. [03:01] ometzit2: I need to leave now but I'll be back in a few hours. The easiest thing to do, if you have a blank CD, is to burn it as a CD. [03:01] NickT: I dunno, when mine is recognized, *it... just... works...!* [03:01] velociostrich: Fair enough. You can setup suspend/hibernate regardless, though. Whatever works for you. [03:01] ectospasm ok,thanks anyway [03:01] etherealite: fsck might be running. [03:01] ok if the drive doesn't work i'll burn it [03:01] it a shame, 4 mb in a entire cd :S [03:02] then burn to pendrive! :D [03:02] Jordan_U Its a lvm pv, how do i get the mapper to give me the lv that i can mount? [03:02] is it normal if it takes forever to load from a usb drive? [03:02] i selected removable media from the bios [03:03] Supermiguel [03:03] gnea [03:03] and now there is only black with the _ going on and off [03:03] don't remember the name in english [03:04] does anyone know a website for linux webcam problems? [03:04] !webcam [03:04] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:04] ubottu thanks [03:04] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [03:04] lol [03:06] ok, I've got my root file system mounted under busy box, how do i chroot into it? === f23 is now known as wolf23 [03:09] I need to install development packages of Xlib/Xfree86, but i can't fiond them in synaptic === sedstapler is now known as sedulous [03:09] how to list all files in a directory with complete path, ls -d shows all files but not much useful for using grep [03:11] pksadiq: maybe find . [03:12] yay! i managed to use super grub 2 to enter my installed ubuntu, now anyone can help me reinstall grub? [03:12] not using a live cd btw, but the full installed linux === estragib_ is now known as estragib [03:12] syntax of find please, I can't follow the man page [03:12] pksadiq: find . [03:12] thanx [03:12] sorry I misunderstood [03:13] pksadiq: no prob, it is for current directory [03:13] !grub2 | ometzit2 [03:13] ometzit2: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:13] ometzit2: I imagine it is something like grub-install /dev/sdXXX [03:16] and so how to list files with certain bytes, for example, I need to list all files with zero bytes [03:16] pksadiq: sorry mate, that is the only trick I know with find. It seems pretty powerful, but I haven't a clue [03:17] Okay, I'm trying to upload the deb file to launchpad, and I've fixed all of the rejected errors I've gotten, but what about "Rejected: Source/binary (i.e. mixed) uploads are not allowed. " [03:17] identify michalwan ztubxcwfzomu [03:17] michalwan: (10:17:14 PM) michalwan: identify michalwan ztubxcwfzomu [03:17] !identify [03:17] You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. [03:17] anybody? [03:17] yes [03:18] michalwan: you need to change your password [03:18] there is something as sda0? i executed fdisk -l and i see a /dev/sda1 but i dont know if that is where the mbr is mounted. sda1 is labelled as dell utilities [03:19] ThomasB2k: you should ask those questions in #ubuntu-packaging [03:19] Okay, thank you [03:19] is to run sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX where i need to replace the X [03:19] press TAB to get /msg [03:19] ometzit2: I would try just /dev/sda. That way you can boot off of the drive [03:19] -NickServ- You are not logged in. [03:20] ok i'll go for it, it said installation finished. no error reported. now its safe to reboot without the super grub cd inside right? [03:20] please help me. my ubuntu 9.10 its freeze among 10 or 15 seconds each 10 minutes, sorry by my bad english [03:22] oops problem: i think i'm in grub-rescue [03:22] Hi folks, i just installed a postfix as "Internethost". Is the default config secure, or an invitation for spammers to do their annoying stuff? What should i look for? [03:22] what is the name of ubuntu 10.04 [03:23] sinman: Lucid Lynx [03:23] rww: thanxs [03:23] 'ello, anyone with experience installing UnrealIRCD on ubuntu? I can't seem to find any packages for it in apt. [03:23] ElbNerd: it should be; I use http://www.abuse.net/relay.html (only need to fill out the top field) to test such things. [03:25] a () does anyone know why i have 2 linux on grub? it say vmlinux-2.6.32-24 and vmlinux-2.6.32.21 [03:25] ometzit2: those are two different kernels [03:25] when you install a new kernel, the old one is kept [03:26] tensorpudding: is that just incase the new kernal is buggy? [03:26] I'm not sure if that is the reason, but it would make sense [03:26] ok [03:27] If you replace the kernel without a backup, and it for some reason can't boot on your machine, then you are in trouble. [03:28] how to search inside man files? [03:28] pksadiq: / [03:29] pksadiq: then type the search term [03:29] rww: cool, thanks a lot, all tests on my host are "Relay access denied" [03:29] man man to figure it out [03:29] let me try [03:29] pksadiq: and hit enter [03:29] Hi there, is there a way to make either apt, aptitude, or some command line program force install a previous version and prevent upgrades? [03:29] pksadiq: you can use n and p to cycle through matches [03:29] pksadiq: err, just n [03:30] k [03:31] any reasons why I get this error when trying to untar this file? gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [03:31] I'm using tar xzvf Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz [03:32] and so how to list files with certain size [03:32] xomp: try with just tar xvf [03:32] ? [03:32] same error blakkheim [03:32] #timekpr [03:32] xomp: gunzip it maybe? [03:32] xomp, try "file Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz" [03:32] xomp, likely that the file is corrupted [03:33] xomp, or not a gz at all [03:33] best I feel is 7z [03:33] icarus-c, strange, Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz: HTML document text [03:33] lol [03:33] lol [03:33] I don't get it lol, so now .tar.gz == .html, .txt? [03:33] so unreal [03:33] It's Unreal. That's your problem [03:34] xomp, maybe you downloaded a wrong file [03:34] hello, does anyone know if ATI's DVI2HDMI Adapter sends sound and image together? [03:34] icarus-c, I did this wget http://unrealircd.icedslash.com/Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz" [03:34] It's likely that you downloaded an HTML document instead of the actual archive. [03:34] xomp: that link is a redirect to a website [03:34] some downloda website take you to a page called "your_file.blah" but in fact, it is a webpage that handle download ticket and stuff [03:34] rafaelsoaresbr: since DVI is video only, unless it has an audio input then it won't [03:34] What are the default permissions for my home folder and how do I restore them? [03:34] ah so they've changed it.. bah! [03:34] xomp: most likely wget didn't follow it, and grabbed the page [03:35] +1 for wget heh [03:35] xomp, yea.. open the website with a web browser, you will see the REAL download button there [03:35] thanks icarus-c :) === douglas is now known as speedrunnerG55 [03:35] xomp, http://unrealircd.icedslash.com/Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz just redirect you to http://www.unrealircd.com/downloads.php with some special data i suppose [03:36] RBecker: I think since HD2XXX Series it sends. is there anyone here using this adapter? [03:37] i need some help, i'm trying to run grub-setup -d /dev/sda5 (where is installed linux) but it doesnt work it say no device especified [03:37] objorn, 700 for folders, 600 for files [03:37] rafaelsoaresbr: I don't use it so I wouldn't know [03:37] But either way, DVI is video only, no audio [03:38] So as I said, it should send audio but only if the adapter has DVI and audio inputs [03:38] err, audio outputs in your case [03:38] since you're going HDMI > DVI not DVI > HDMI [03:39] I knowm, but you may know that Catalyst includes an HDMI device. [03:39] I don't, I'm not an ATI user [03:40] objorn: actually the default would be 755 for home and subfolders and 644 for files, but there are reasons you may want 700 and 600 [03:40] okay [03:40] I'm an NVIDIA user, but right now I'm screwed over because in Ubuntu 10.10 there's a driver issue between the NVIDIA driver and the X server version in that release [03:40] found it , use find -size n , to show files/paths with n bytes/blocks etc, thanx all [03:40] hey guys fuck windows [03:40] objorn: thune3 is correct [03:40] !language | harris [03:40] harris: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[03:42] how to go there? i am so new in this [03:42] Drone: ifconfig -a in a term, under eth0 or wlan0, or otherwise, depending on your setup [03:42] jinxzs: /join #xubuntu [03:42] jinxzs: type /join #xubuntu in the same place you're typing messages now. [03:43] Will someone please help me with user permissions? I can't read or write from my home directory [03:43] jinxzs, i'm an xubuntu user but this channel is far more active; I have them both set in favorites but stay here most of the time. [03:43] objorn: what are they currently set to? [03:43] I've tried sudo chmod -R u+rw /home/safar no luck [03:43] Gnea, I don't know how to tell [03:44] ls -la [03:44] objorn: type this: ls -ld /home/safar [03:44] or -ld [03:44] Why are dvds in mplay and vlc all scrambled looking? [03:44] -la will give it to you in drwrwxrwx format [03:44] use sudo chwon [03:44] objorn: man chmod [03:44] drw-rw-r-- 142 safar safar 1228 [03:45] objorn: okay, it needs the execute bit set - this is a bit saner: sudo chmod 4711 /home/safar [03:45] objorn: why are your permissions messed up to begin with? [03:45] etherealite: probably because you haven't done https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [03:45] Thank you Gnea [03:45] cheers [03:46] Gnea: why setuid? [03:46] no good reason that I can think of :\ [03:47] are you all using irssi or something else ? [03:47] to make sure that any file that gets created there is owned by him [03:47] Gnea: setuid doesn't do that [03:47] really? [03:48] Gnea: yep, setuid on directories is ignored on linux [03:48] since when? [03:48] forever [03:48] Gnea: forever? [03:48] ... [03:49] well, nothing wrong with 711, and 4711 isn't even a security risk [03:49] so if it's ignored, it won't hurt anything [03:50] so like I said, "no good reason that I can think of" [03:50] rww works great now, thanks! [03:50] just because you can't think of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist :) [03:50] * Gnea googles [03:50] Umm. I think we just showed that it doesn't exist :\ [03:51] I'm pretty sure we didn't [03:51] a discussion without anything to back it up is pretty much null and void... [03:51] I've never seen linux ignore it [03:51] and offtopic for this channel [03:51] I guess you're not good at admitting mistakes. I'll go find something better to do :) [03:51] Gnea: meh, just try it in your terminal === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [03:52] IdleOne: it has to do with making sure we don't mislead the user, I'd say it's quite relevent. [03:52] Gnea: define "without anything to back it up" [03:53] jrib: I just did, and it set the bit. [03:53] Gnea: granted. [03:53] Hi [03:53] Gnea: the claim is that setuid on a directory does not cause files created in the directory to have the same owner as the directory [03:54] Braber01: hello [03:54] jrib: okay, that part, yes, I am wrong about - sorry. [03:54] I have a question about a possible compressed file corruption. [03:54] Gnea: but you say files have setuid inherited or did I misread? I didn't know about that [03:55] so i have my home partition on a seperate partition and i just did a fresh install, how do i restore the backed up user? [03:55] Braber01: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [03:55] jrib: no, I did say that, I just wasn't thinking it through correctly - there's a good reason for it, but that reason would be offtopic, and I wouldn't have a problem entertaining it via PM at some point [03:55] rahduke: did you create the user with the same uid and username? [03:55] jribb: no i learned my lesson last time i tried that... [03:55] I was working on a Java project in /home/ben/Workspace/* I used the zip util then mv the file to ~ them e-mailed them to a windows machine where did my file get corrupt? [03:56] jrib: when i tried that last time it screwed everything up and i hadda start over [03:56] rahduke: heh, that would be the easy way. Anyway, what's your current setup? You want to create a new user or what? [03:56] jrib: that messed me up last time, i dont think that works [03:56] Braber01: go check if you can unzip your file before the e-mail part? [03:56] rahduke, if you have use a separate partition for /home, and assuming that you didn't mess it up, you could restore everything simply by mounting that back to /home, and chown if needed [03:56] rahduke: ok, what's your current situation? [03:57] icarus-c: techincally im not using a seperate parition for home, I'm just using a seperate parition for my old user name... === ascott_ is now known as ascott_nb [03:57] oh so that's what i did wrong oh well, it doesn't matter now, I re-started the project and it didn't take me any time at all though [03:58] rahduke, you mean like use another partition for /home/rahduke ? [03:58] jrib: my SSD died (after 6 months!!!) and now im just installed 10.04 on a seperate 500gb HD, my user home folder is on my other 1.5tb drive [03:58] icarus-c: yes [03:58] exactly [03:58] rahduke: after you leave this channel today, do you want to use a separate partition as your /home? [03:59] rahduke, so mount that partition back to /home/rahduke && chown -R rahduke:rahduke /home/rahduke [03:59] I haven't yet succeeded in changing the tty resolution !tty isn't pretty helping atleast for me, hoping for help [03:59] jrib: yea man I want to restore my old folder /home/rahduke, when i opened home on my previous installation i would see all of my stuff on the 1.5tb drive [03:59] I will be back got to take mai pills :( [04:00] rahduke: ok. What user did you create during install? [04:00] icarus-c: do i need to create a new user? [04:00] jrib: a random name [04:00] bill [04:00] rahduke: do you care about this bill account? [04:00] not even a little [04:01] hey, so why would apt-get upgrade be holding back landscape-common? [04:01] i did this once before but it was like a year ago... i have no recollection of what i did [04:01] rahduke: create the "rahduke" user, add him to the "admin" group, chown your files on the separate /home partition that should belong to rahduke to have the proper ownership (by uid), edit your fstab, restart [04:01] jrib: there was a time when the setuid meant something in a multi-user environment. it seems that, yes, it has been merged or deprecated. [04:01] rahduke, ok what is your current user name, and the its $HOME path ? [04:02] Gnea: yeah, some systems use it as you said. I think for example on freebsd it's possible to have it behave like you described [04:02] jrib: my fstab should be something like /dev/sda1/rahduke /home ext3 bla bla bla ? [04:02] rahduke, no... but /dev/sda1 /home/rahduke === curtis is now known as Guest97781 [04:02] /dev/sda1 /home/rahduke ext3 defaults,relatime 0 2 [04:03] Hi How can i change the buttons on the window border to the other side thanks [04:03] my school has telnet, I could telnet to my home cpu, then get on here... should I? [04:03] !controls | Guest97781 [04:03] Guest97781: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [04:03] icarus-c: i have to mount my 1.5tb drive and then also add a line for my home folder move? [04:03] Braber01: you shouldn't use telnet; use ssh [04:03] !controls [04:03] from a windows machine *shudder* [04:03] rahduke, um.. you confuse me [04:03] Hey, how would I run a program through the terminal, and keep it running, but be able to still go back to the terminal [04:03] jrib: this is actually good news - it means that someone else can own a file or directory within someone's home directory and not be able to delete it [04:04] jrib ? [04:04] icarus-c: lol i think i confused myself... [04:04] Guest97781: read what ubottu said [04:04] jrib: I know to use ssh however windows doesn't have ssh I don't think [04:04] Chiggins, you mean even after you close the terminal? [04:04] Braber01: use putty on windows [04:04] Braber01: putty works great [04:04] putty [04:04] jrib it didnt say anything [04:04] don't think I can download stuff on college computers though [04:04] Guest97781: yes, it did. He said it in the channel right after I said "!controls | Guest97781" [04:05] icarus-c - like, if i type in 'gedit', Gedit starts, but then i can continue to type commands and other programs into the same terminal [04:05] Braber01: sure you can, it doesn't need admin rights to run [04:05] is it stupid when I rdesktop into my W7 machine and then putty back into my original machine? lol doh! [04:05] jrib oh i thought that was a person ok [04:05] jrib well for some reason it moved them to the right side with this one theme i want them on the left [04:05] br ? [04:05] yeah the school, has to approve all downloaded softare on thier campus computers [04:05] icarus-c: so i created an fstab entry" /dev/sdb1 /media/bigdrive ext3 defaults,relatime 0 2" [04:06] how to give an output of a command to input of other command ? [04:06] Guest97781: I imagine the instructions would be similar [04:06] Chiggins, after you run gedit, click back to the terminal, press "ctrl-z", then enter command "bg". now gedit has been backgrounded, you could run another program [04:06] well that sucks, we pretty much have free reign here [04:06] pksadiq: command1 | command2 [04:06] I don't think putty would be one of them... [04:06] Hiya. I Was wondering how I am able to get my CPU fan working in Linux. [04:06] icarus-c: that mounts my 1.5tb drive at boot, now i want to mount /media/bigdrive/rahduke2 to / home?? [04:06] For some reason it doesn't want to turn on. [04:06] but vim | find | grep as is not working [04:06] that's an example [04:07] Braber01: you don't have to install putty, you can just run the exe. But in any case, ask your administrator if you can use putty (or securecrt) [04:07] rahduke, um.... where you want to mount your 1.5tb drive and what's that /media/bigdrive/rahduke2 ? [04:07] just wondering who here is using irssi? [04:07] pksadiq: you should ask your real question... [04:07] ok [04:07] icarus-c: well i made an fsstab line "/dev/sdb1 /media/bigdrive ext3 defaults,relatime 0 2" so thats mounting my 1.5tb at /media/bigdrive [04:08] who irssi [04:08] nope didn't work [04:08] I need to open a text file in vim which is found by using find command, so how to?

[04:09] icarus-c: then at the root of that drive i have a folder called rahduke2 (my old username) so i want to make antother entry saying rahduke2 loads in the home folder [04:09] icarus-c: let me try [04:09] jrib well when i run codes i always go in root lol thats not a good idea? [04:09] Guest97781: nope [04:09] icarus-c: maybe i should just mount my 1.5drive to /home [04:09] pksadiq, like find . -name "blah.txt" -exec vim {} \; [04:09] jrib ok [04:10] frist rule of Linux NEVER EVER WORK AS ROOT unless you KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING [04:10] Anyone know how to get my CPU fans working?

[04:12] rahduke, that means you have 1.5tb mounted to /home, then old user home partition mounted on top of it to /home/rahduke2 [04:12] jrib expr: missing operand [04:12] well good night [04:12] jrib says my name then laptop [04:12] kaizen: pastebin exactly what you are running and the full output [04:12] Guest97781: and then?

You see some symbols?

A few -exec examples are in there [04:16] Ubuntu-es have a big problem, the server banned me for five times, when i dont do anything wrong [04:17] I can't follow :( [04:17] uBOT-fr is the bot that banned me [04:17] pksadiq: why do you want to do this? [04:17] casa: try #ubuntu-irc [04:18] its the same? [04:18] jrib its the same? [04:18] casa: that's where you can get help from admins in #ubuntu-es (I think) [04:18] aaaa ok [04:18] thanks [04:19] I need to find a file using find | grep command and open that file in vim [04:19] pksadiq: yes, I know. find does that and its man page has plenty of examples using -exec. I'm asking why you want to do this at all? [04:19] #crunchbag [04:20] * pksadiq I'm confused [04:20] why dont you use locate instead of find? [04:21] I'm just looking to have my adsl home ubuntu 10.04 system be the dns server for my godaddy.com registered web address using dynamic updated no-ip pointing to it.

[04:32] Nope. Maybe 10.10. [04:33] BrendenB, you need to edit updatedb.conf and add /media before hand [04:33] (i mean remove /media from exlude) [04:34] remove /media from $PRUNEPATHS to be precise === I_want_ely is now known as the1994 [04:36] Gnea, interestingly thats not the solution.

Alternatively, delete entries within /etc/apt/sources.list that you don't actually need.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:58] I don't have a USB stick but I have an external hard drive that I'm using to store all my files from the hard drive. Right now I've got XP and Ubuntu installed but I want to drop XP can I run the installation from my external hard drive instead of a USB stick??

Long live free software [04:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:59] mark4444, yes just make a small seperate 2 gb partition in extern hdd and install ubuntu iso there and from there you can install ubuntu === PentiumMMX is now known as Pentium3 [04:59] !

I guess [05:00] mark4444, Just remember to resize your current partition instead of creating a new one over what you have.. [05:01] that menu and everything [05:01] just right click on it, go to prop. and tell it to auto hide [05:01] mark4444, look we are storing ubuntu iso in completley seperate partition. so that will not touch the files on other partitions. so no problem. just be sure to makr this 2gb partitions so that while in the process you will not harm the other partition and its data [05:01] just wana hide [05:01] dnt wana delete [05:01] cyberpun1, right click properties [05:01] cyberpun1: Right click it, goto properties, and select hide.

[05:02] how to hide the desktop icons [05:02] also when I first installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix I couldn't use the wifi so we had to get a wired connection and get the drivers updated or whatever, two things showed up STA and something starting with a B I think. I updated just the STA and I can connect with the wifi but the icon up top always has an exclamation point, is there anything I need to do about that? [05:02] cyberpun1: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [05:03] Same idea, just click 'show desktop icons' [05:03] hold on a sec .. lemme check [05:03] Rayen wud u mean same idea ? === tazz_ is now known as tazz [05:04] use of sudo apt-get etc IS using synaptic right?

[05:04] delinquentme: other way round. synaptic is a front end for apt-get [05:04] AbhiJit: nano [05:04] e.g. vim is not there by defualt so which one is there? [05:04] i know nano is there [05:04] maco! [05:04] ha i KNOW YOU! [05:05] thanks! [05:05] Problem - I can log in to Ubuntu, but if I lock my screen and try to log back in it says incorrect password. I'm using the same password... [05:05] maco, ok and is this nano better than vim? [05:05] delinquentme: and yet i'm still willing to answer questions for you... [05:05] AbhiJit: Not in my opinion, I installed VIM. [05:05] maco, delinquentme: actually, synaptic is a gui frontend for dpkg, as apt-get is a commandline frontend for dpkg [05:05] Ryen, mm [05:05] Roasted: Do you hit a key to stop the screensaver and get the password box? [05:05] AbhiJit: it wears its manpage on the bottom two rows of the screen, making it easier for normal users than vim which results in "i couldnt figure out how to exit, so i hit the power button" ;-) [05:06] tman482, yes. [05:06] tman482, but it says wrong pw [05:06] maco, :D [05:06] tman482, yet I know its right. [05:06] Gnea: does synaptic not use libapt? [05:06] Roasted: Are you using it in a virtual machine? [05:06] tman482, I copied the etc shadow, group, and passwd file from my old install to import users/groups. [05:06] I think thats where it went wrong [05:06] no its a native install [05:06] I just dont know how to fix it [05:06] haha well maco im trying to get rails 3 running [05:07] Roasted: Try resetting your password in the term normal like. [05:07] also got another problem: whenever I remove the power cord whether from the wall or the actual computer i lose the wifi connection everything gets bogged down and sometimes I get sent to the login screen and sometimes it just shuts down. [05:07] I reset it in the gui already [05:07] Roasted: https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee-coders/msg00805.html [05:07] Roasted: Try it once in the terminal just for good luck. Also, does the root password unlock the screen, for any strange reason? [05:07] maco: it does, but so does apt-get [05:07] tman482, there is no root password in ubuntu [05:07] Gnea: fair enough [05:08] tman482, just the user password that gets elevated priv [05:08] Roasted: Try the link I sent you. [05:08] maco: good call [05:08] Roasted: Ah, right. Hmm. Try resetting it via the terminal, and check out Ryen's link. [05:09] Ryen, I just did, but I cannot lock my screen to try it in case it fails just yet. Im in the middle of a project but Ill try it in a few minutes when Im able to [05:09] thanks guys!

[05:11] linuxuz3r: svn, git [05:11] linuxuz3r: something distributed! git, hg, or bzr ... svn & cvs require net access to use so theyre annoying [05:11] i'm reading a How To on partitioning an external hard drive and it says once you start the partition all data will be lost, so I guess I should have partitioned before I transferred all my files [05:11] linuxuz3r: depends what you need it to do [05:11] Gnea: its only for school [05:12] linuxuz3r: well, it depends what they'll be doing and how they'll be doing it [05:12] mark4444: maybe look at /var/log/syslog working backwards. Maybe see if you can find events related to the power change. [05:12] linuxuz3r: #linux might be a good place to ask about it [05:12] linuxuz3r: i use bzr to keep from losing my homework. its easier than git so unless you have something huge enough to warrant git (which i doubt is the case with homework) ...

[05:40] lubun2, there is no error message, i am just not having autocompletion for package names in gnome-terminal or terminator after typing "sudo apt-get install xc" and press tab,for exampl [05:40] If a card reader in a laptop doesnt function, what package should I file the bug under? [05:40] slooksterpsv, my system has a bunch of family members on it through samba, so I wanted to transfer them instead of readding them since linux uses UID numbers per account [05:40] lubun2: i have tried it many times, i want to get used to it though. [05:40] bullgard4, for typing in japanese crap [05:40] slooksterpsv, so if I readd them, suddenly if 1002 was curtis before, it could be tyler this time, screwing up perms BIGTIME [05:41] lubun2: i am just wondering which is the full package that wont miss anything [05:41] st__: Only Japanese? [05:41] ok and your user is still the correct uid [05:41] slooksterpsv, so I wanted to retain the user vs UID, so I backed them up as was directed by many here. then I jsut imported them via gksudo nautilus on my new install [05:41] slooksterpsv, should be. I was the first user on both systems. [05:41] slooksterpsv, what if I just delete my acct and re-add it? [05:41] bullgard4, chines, korean etc everything that cannot be done just bu keyboard alone [05:41] evening folks [05:41] that may work, I would just rename your user folder so it doesn't delete it [05:41] anyone here using libpam-mount with gdm on ubuntu? [05:42] slooksterpsv, I have a backup drive even if it does. Ive been burned enough times already :P [05:42] st__: What are the additional tools needed beyond a keyboard for this purpose? [05:42] Roasted, ok perfect then =P I do the same; so yeah try that, could be something faulty with your user in the passwd file [05:42] multipass, np..juts thought live cd is best for trying [05:43] bullgard4, corresponding IME installed [05:43] why does gnome have so much more support vs kde? [05:43] R136a1, you said it as if apt-get is the problem..shud be command completion [05:43] multipass: It is the default install, it is used more. [05:43] is it possible to log in to ubuntu using login on other computer? [05:43] is anyone else having slow downloads through apt-get but other downloads, like in firefox, aren't slow? [05:43] is it better at anything in particular? [05:44] Roasted: yeah I just tried to add a user to my passwd file and it failed, so I'm going to try and su into the user and change its password [05:44] st__: I do not understand. Can you say your last message in other words, please? [05:45] lubun2, you mean bash-completion package? [05:45] bullgard4, you need to install keyboard layout for desired language. but instead of the layout it will install the utility called inpu method editor. it will be used to enter characters from desired language [05:45] R136a1, yes [05:46] i need to disable the proprietary driver... best to do tholace [05:46] what is lighter lxde or xfce something [05:46] st__: Understood. Thank you very much for your help. [05:47] Jinxzs, lxde, but it is unusable crap [05:47] slooksterpsv, no dice. [05:48] so this is better xfce -xubuntu [05:48] question I created a symbloic link to a directory. how would I remove this lin without removing the files? [05:48] ati drivers seems to be screwing up my screeen, any tips to remove the latest driver? [05:49] i can't get my mouse to let go of the nicklist in xchat.. it's just .. stuck! ubuntu 9.04 [05:49] multipass: it's a matter of taste and style. i recommend trying both (using livecds) [05:50] I wrecked my initrd image so i can't boot, but update--initramfs isn't changing the contents of my /boot partition, How can i get this fixed?

(inb4 why bother, it's a mini and doesn't have a CD drive) [05:55] i_is_broke, doesn't do anything when i middle click [05:55] reid_: Just double click the .deb files and it will bring up a window to install it. [05:55] reid_, you're trying to add debian repository to OS which specifically makes debian repository incompatible [05:55] I didnYears ago I was going to buy a laptop with it, but didn't because I read about problems with Linux. Now I am buying a computer again, and the ones I like have the Atheros :-/ [05:55] *I didn't buy it yet. [05:56] haha killed the wrong process ended up hanging my system [05:56] how do I find the debian file, every time said to add debian repository, each time an error mesage [05:56] lifestream, do you need notebook or ubuntu?

[05:56] we have netbook edition of ubuntu [05:56] ati drivers are screwing upi myubuntwhat is the best way to fixthis issue [05:56] pw-toxic i am so lost on where to go with your issue, I want to say post it on Ubuntu Forums see if we can get more insight into it. [05:56] currently installed is Windows 7 [05:57] i_is_broke, i can't type or do anything with that stuck to the mouse [05:57] Roasted_: in regards to your issue I would try to change your password see if it happens with a new password [05:57] st__, Yes, I need a laptop. And I use Linux only. I don't use Windows [05:57] seems to be working or at least doing something,,, thanks [05:58] I wrecked my initrd image so i can't boot, but update--initramfs isn't changing the contents of my /boot partition, How can i get this fixed? [05:59] st__: "st__> is it possible to log in to ubuntu using login on other computer?" <-- Yes, it is. [05:59] bullgard4, how exact;y? [05:59] Hello @ all [05:59] not @ python [05:59] Hi B4ckB0ne [05:59] ahhhh, the kernel remounted my root partition read-only... [06:00] what is wrong with this thing? [06:00] Im having problems getting my wlan up and running [06:00] slooksterpsv, fixed it. [06:00] Roasted - how? [06:00] whereami, run fsck and reboot [06:00] B4ckBOne what version of Ubuntu, what kind of computer? [06:00] slooksterpsv, the /etc/shadow file needs 640 perms. I had that. I didnt take notice tha my work laptop (10.04 64 bit) was root:shadow, whereas my desktop was root:root. [06:00] slooksterpsv, when I copied the files over, I was in gksudo nautilus, so it assigned root:root. Doh! [06:00] slooksterpsv, just chown'd to root:shadow and bingo bango - worked. [06:01] st__, I think it's a sata driver issue. the disk is really slow, and I'm seeing errors in dmesg. [06:01] slooksterpsv, 10.04 dell latitude 6400 [06:01] Roasted: wow, yeah I would have not through to check that, I'll remember that [06:01] B4ckBOne is it 32-bit or 64-bit? and can you see any wireless networks at all? connect? etc. [06:01] slooksterpsv, its something I should have picked up on, but when I ran ls -l in the /etc dir, EVERYTHING Was root:root EXCEPT shadow. I didnt even notice even tho it should have stuck out. [06:01] how do i disable proprietary drivers and the lhelpt and support says i should have a harware selection in adm‌istration and I do not [06:01] /etc/shadow should have 000 permissions [06:01] seeing everything root:root made me not even question it. I was so fixed on figuring out is rw-r----- was 640 perms or not :P [06:01] slooksterpsv, 32bit - it has a broadcom chipset and i installed the sta drivers [06:01] no it should have 640 perms [06:02] fresh install has a 640 perm on that file [06:02] Roasted - wow awesome [06:02] slooksterpsv, dmesg is showing me that it found my card and uses it with the cdc_ether module [06:02] any one? [06:02] slooksterpsv, but wicd doesnt see any wirles network card [06:03] B4ckBOne, is interface up? [06:03] lemonpos_0.9.3rc2-1_i386.deb failed to install - is this the right package> [06:03] st__, i dont know [06:03] B4ckBOne what kind of wireless is in it? do you know if its the wifi link 5100 ? [06:03] reid_, what is dpkg error when rin in terminal? [06:04] can anyone help me debug my apparently foobarred sata drivers? [06:04] st__: Use sshfs. I have created a directory T43sshfs. I have installed and configured sshfs. Now I can do what you asked for. [06:04] slooksterpsv, it is a dell 1397 (Broadcom Chipset) [06:04] B4ckBOne oh duh sorry was looking at the completely wrong computer lol, sorry [06:04] how do i disable proprietary drivers and the lhelpt and support says i should have a harware selection in adm‌istration and I do not [06:04] errors were encountered while processingt /tmp/lemonpos_........deb [06:04] slooksterpsv, dont be sorry ;-) [06:05] cannot access archive no such file in directory [06:05] st__, ifconfig is showing me only eht0 (wired) and lo [06:06] B4ckBOne is the wireless enabled on your computer (should be a green light next to the power button) if not press Fn+F2 to turn it on [06:06] st__, iwconfig doest show a wireless network, it shows: lo eht0 wwan0 = no wireless extensions [06:06] slooksterpsv, it has a hardware switch right to the power button and that is turned on. [06:07] If a card reader in a laptop doesnt function, what package should I file the bug under? [06:08] hi i'm trying to get gnome-shell but i get this http://pastebin.com/pgysFyKJ [06:09] hola [06:09] am I missing a directory?

[06:11] can a php script change the ownership of a file to root.root?? [06:11] the script is hosted in apache server [06:11] slooksterpsv, no errors, inserted 2 modules [06:12] B4ckBOne, now try: sudo iwlist scan [06:12] ranjan: channel #php would be a better place to ask [06:12] Doyle, thank you :) [06:12] ranjan: anytime [06:12] when i plug my phone into my pc as a data storage unit my pc does not mount it how would i fix it? running the latest version of ubuntu with all updates [06:12] slooksterpsv, lo eth0 wwan0 ... interface doesnt support scanning [06:13] B4ckBOne no wlan0 or that? try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [06:13] shayne: open terminal and type 'tail -F /var/log/messages' then unplug the device and plug it in again. what happens? [06:13] slooksterpsv, no wlan0 adapter present [06:13] slooksterpsv, its showing me lo eth0 and wwan0 which is strange to me [06:14] I wrecked my initrd image so i can't boot, but update--initramfs isn't changing the contents of my /boot partition, How can i get this fixed? [06:14] dpkg error processing /tmp/lemonpos_0.9.3rc2_1_i386 cannot access archive; no such file in directory my error message - how to correct? [06:14] B4ckBOne - wwan0 should be for like a WAN Card (e.g. Cellular network (3g type)) I believe [06:15] slooksterpsv, it has a combined umts and wlan card in it and i have a sim card in it [06:15] slooksterpsv, the dell 1397 (broadcom chipset) [06:16] doyle it sess the device plugged in but does not want me to acces it? any ideas? [06:16] doyle Sep 24 23:15:41 shayne-desktop kernel: [480984.889116] scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [06:16] B4ckBOne - try this: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [06:16] shayne: it shows up in the file browser? Has it worked before? [06:16] folks anyone here know how I can change the location of the .gvfs virtual fs that's created upon login to ubuntu? [06:17] i'd like to move it to /var/tmp [06:17] does alarm-clock work after you've quit, or do you have to leave it open? [06:17] Royall: set it for 1 minute from now, close it and find out [06:17] I don't have that kinda time [06:18] do i miss something? [06:18] doyle just shows up in terminal but no where else it worked when i first got the new version of ubuntu but stopped when i did updates [06:18] B4ckBOne - right-click on the network icon at the top and make sure Enable Wireless Network is checked (if it's available) [06:18] does ubuntu support TRIM yet? [06:19] shayne: does 'ls /media' show you the device you want? [06:20] I wrecked my initrd image so i can't boot, but update--initramfs isn't changing the contents of my /boot partition, How can i get this fixed? [06:21] join #wso2 === Manny is now known as Guest36625 [06:21] my keyboard doesn't have a Home or End keys, how do i map a key combination to this keys? [06:22] etherealite: boot the system in recovery mode, run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' then follow the instructions [06:22] R136a1, your keyboard sucks. [06:22] rizzuh, indeed [06:23] R136a1: spend $10 and get a new one [06:23] $3 is enough [06:23] Doyle, so there is no alternative? [06:24] R136a1: Use x keybindings or another config. Google it. [06:24] tman482, thank you very much! [06:24] :) [06:24] np [06:26] Ah, here's one. Ubuntu doesn't recognize all the keys when 3 or more are pressed at teh same time, is there a fix for this? Multiple keyboards tried. [06:26] Doyle: Context? [06:26] btw i_is_broke i got it by moving my 2nd mouse around [06:26] Doyle ok, i'm starting up in recovery mode, but I never chome to a run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' screen [06:27] reid_ which part of 'no such file or directory' you don't comprehend? [06:27] hi all [06:27] How would I go about syncing a folder (my music) on my laptop running ubuntu 10.04 to a folder located on an external HD plugged into a desktop running win xp over a wireless network? [06:27] tman482: Say I'm hitting the opening cord for Killers - When You Were Young on expert mode in Frets of fire, it doesn't work with 3 keys pressed at once [06:28] etherealite: chroot /mnt... isn't a screen, it's a command you need to enter [06:28] Doyle: Hmm, honestly not sure how that would work in a gnome setup, but with other wms or plain X you could do per-application keybindings. It might just not be picking up that because it sees no binds. [06:29] Doyle: Might be a quick google away though... ie: gnome keybindings, at least to test. [06:29] tman482: you've given me an idea, maybe there's an existing binding gettin in the way [06:29] tman482: thanks [06:29] Doyle: Aye, that too. Np. [06:29] Doyle Once i boot into rescue mode it gives me te option of "opening" a shell in my root partition, or opening a shell in the installer env and mounting your root partition, which option do i take? [06:30] etherealite: mmmm, door number 1 [06:30] This is a hardware related question, but just bought a new laptop -- any idea what kind of hardrive it may have. are they typically SATA? [06:31] Doyle, ok, the /mnt dir is empty in this env. What now? [06:31] shafiq: if it's recent, last 6 months or say, it'll be sata, and possibly sata ssd [06:31] It could be stat or ssd [06:31] shafiq: yeah and 2.5" - which i think is a different connector [06:31] etherealite: run the command [06:32] if its large like 500gb I'd say its sata [06:32] Doyle I can't chroot into a dir that doesn't exist. [06:32] laptops use mini sata connectors, recent laptops will all come with 2.5" hard drives, the only question is wethr it's ssd or mechanical [06:32] Doyle , Random832, Cerebr0 : just checked the device manager in Windows and it says ATA --- does that sound right? [06:33] etherealite: ah, i see what you're saying, empty, ok. [06:33] Doyle maybe you ment for me to enter the installer env. [06:33] How can I read hfs+ file system? [06:33] Typically if it is a SSD (solid state drive) it would be small like 80gb - 256 gb [06:34] etherealite: have a look at the /etc/fstab file, whats in there? Use pastebin if you want. pastebin.com [06:34] moderately large channel [06:35] !info hfsplus | NOMADICUS [06:35] NOMADICUS: hfsplus (source: hfsplus): Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes.

[06:35] sweetpi: Thanks. [06:35] NOMADICUS: There is read capability, but no write [06:35] tensorpudding: Ok. [06:35] hello, how to reset gnome painel? [06:36] Cerebr0: any kind of backup software should be able to do it for you. Install some, play around. [06:36] !panelreset | rafaelsoaresbr [06:36] rafaelsoaresbr: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:37] tensorpudding, thanks [06:37] Ok, the issue i think i may have is that the HD is connected to a XP desktop on the network, I can access the folder and manually back up my music on to it, just looking for software to do it for me when I modify it or add more [06:38] Do you guys think there is a big difference, performance wise, of a 5400rpm versus a 7200rpm SATA laptop hard drive? [06:38] Cerebr0: yea, there's backup software that can do that, just install some, find something that works. It's like trying a bunch of different mp3 players till you find one you like. [06:38] Doyle http://pastie.org/1180615 [06:39] how to edit gnome menus? choose app, etc... [06:39] Is is possible to use dd to clone a hfx+ into an ext3 iso? [06:39] shafiq: not much difference ... 5400 should be quieter and more power efficient though [06:39] Cerebr0 unison [06:40] Demerzel_: hmm, bc it seems that on a desktop computer, a 7200 is a big difference over a 5400 [06:41] shafiq: it isn't much of a difference there either imo [06:41] shafiq: you can always "speed up" 5400 drives by arranging them in a RAID array [06:41] shafiq: which is why you'll typically find 5400 drives in homegrown NAS setups [06:42] shafiq: 7200 or higher (10k, 15k) are used mainly for high I/O throughput scenarios e.g. very heavily used database or video processing etc [06:42] or desktops [06:42] Doyle you still here? === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [06:43] etherealite: yea, do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and pastebin that also [06:43] gr8m8: a desktop is a high I/O throughput scenario? :-) [06:44] Hello, Can anyone help me with mounting issue with addons for VirtualBox! Plz [06:44] Demerzel_: all my desktops use 7200 rpm disks [06:45] gr8m8: that doesn't change the fact that by default a desktop isn't a high I/O throughput scenario [06:45] Demerzel_: you need at least two drives to set up RAID, correct? [06:45] gr8m8: if you use your desktop for high I/O applications then that's a different story. Most desktops aren't used for such applications [06:45] shafiq: yes [06:46] Demerzel_: you win I don't care [06:46] Demerzel_: cool, thanks dude. any idea what happend to #hardware ? [06:46] gr8m8: awesome! Where's my medal? [06:46] Demerzel_: you'd need a chest first ;] heh [06:47] shafiq: no idea ... i didn't even know it existed, let alone that it's gone [06:47] Doyle fidsk isn't going to help, the volumes are incrypted through luks, and then parsed through LVM. [06:47] gr8m8: sweet! sounds like i win treasure! [06:47] * Demerzel_ prepares chest [06:47] Demerzel_: lol cool. late dude [06:47] Doyle I can give you my /dev/mapper output if youd like [06:47] how do i set up the login to let me choose KDE or Gnome? [06:47] shafiq: later man [06:48] fdisk -l [06:48] multipass: you just....select the one you want [06:48] no one saw that [06:48] etherealite: sure [06:48] xangua: on the login screen? [06:48] yeah [06:48] xangua: maybe i didnt look hard enough.. lol brb [06:49] I installed Ruby 1.9.2-p0 system-wide using RVM on Ubuntu Server 10.04 system-wide. I selected it as default, however running "ruby -v" after a restart still shows 1.8.7. How can I set 1.9.2 as default? === rizzuh_ is now known as rizzu === rizzu is now known as rizzuh [06:51] Doyle new pastie for you http://pastie.org/1180623 [06:52] etherealite: ok, how about this. If you haven't already run 'sudo apt-get install initrd-tools' then run 'sudo mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic'. You'll want to verify the kernel path and version. Just a 'locate initrd' and it'll spit out about 10 results, one of them will be it. [06:54] etherealite: your comment about the encryption told me what I needed to know. just do the mkinitrd stuff. === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [06:54] rizzuh: you installed rvm in /usr/local/rvm? [06:55] Doyle I'm chroot inside my root partition why do i need to apt-get initrd-tools? [06:55] Demerzel_, yeah [06:55] etherealite: if you don't have the initrd tools you won't have mkinitrd installed. [06:55] every time I boot, the grub bootloader comes up and shows me a dozen different instances of Ubuntu (slightly different version numbers). Seems to add new instances every time I update the system and it requires a system restart... it now fills the screen... how can I remove the extra old boot options that I really no longer need? [06:56] rizzuh: what's the output of rvm list [06:56] Takieda you can uninstall old ones in the package manager [06:56] Demerzel_, ruby-1.9.2-p0 [ x86-64 ] [06:56] Takieda: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [06:57] Takieda: and then aptitude purge the older linux-image packages [06:57] in looking at .xsession-errors, one of the first lines tells me it's setting IM through im-switch, followed by a Start IM message..what is IM? [06:57] Takieda: run 'uname -r' to find the kernel version you're currently using, then us ethe package manager to remove the others. Don't remove hte one you use... [06:58] rizzuh: is there a => next to one of them? [06:58] Doyle is the package initramfs-tools? [06:58] rizzuh: er .. next to 1.9.2 ? [06:58] can anyone help with virtualbox guest addons? how do i make it fullscreen [06:58] ? [06:58] Demerzel_, yes [06:58] etherealite: it may be [06:59] rizzuh: does "which ruby" point to system ruby still? [06:59] Demerzel_, yeah, /usr/bin/ruby [06:59] etherealite: no, it's not [07:00] Demerzel_, which is 1.8.7 [07:00] rizzuh: what's the output of "type rvm | head -n1" ? [07:00] Doyle cant find a package by that name even after an update. [07:01] thanks Cerebr0, Demerzel_, and Doyle... fixing them no :) [07:01] Demerzel_, rvm is hashed (/usr/local/bin/rvm) [07:01] now, rather. [07:01] etherealite: looks like that package is 'outdated' give me a sec [07:02] etherealite: yea, initramfs-tools is the new one [07:02] rizzuh: hmmm i've not used a system-wide rvm install before so i'm not sure where this would go [07:02] yup thats what i got, and update-initramfs ain't workin. [07:02] rizzuh: but you need to ensure rvm is a function by adding the following to the end of your profile [07:03] Doyle /boot is empty [07:03] any thoughts on adding 32 bit driver not in repositories for a brother printer have 10.04 64bit sys [07:03] rizzuh: [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" [07:03] I'm left with linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic and linux-image-generic. is it safe to get rid of the second one? [07:03] Demerzel_, yeah, that's for user-wide install though. [07:03] rizzuh: that's for a local install [07:03] Are there any light weight alternatives to gnome-power-manager? It seems needlessly fat. Just to install it will take up 47 new packages which include usb and networking libraries [07:03] Demerzel_, but rvm works; you'd have needed to add that if rvm wasn't recognized [07:03] rizzuh: i'd check if your /etc/rvmrc seems fine and also ensure you're in the rvm group [07:04] etherealite: if 'ls /boot' doesn't dislpay anything you'll have to install a new kernel [07:04] rizzuh: true [07:04] etherealite: that'll fix your problem [07:04] Takieda: if you're down to those two then don't delete any more [07:04] Demerzel_, well /etc/rvmrc only checks if there's a local install and aborts if there is [07:04] Demerzel_, so the local one runs, not the system-wide [07:05] rizzuh: k [07:05] rizzuh: i'm fresh out of ideas :-) [07:05] :| [07:05] Doyle can i do this with apt? [07:05] 1.8.7 would be fine if it wasn't so damn slow :( [07:05] rizzuh: but jan is typically in #rvm if you need answers from the horses mouth [07:05] Demerzel_, thanks muchly :) [07:05] reboot should look a LOT cleaner now :) [07:05] etherealite: yea, I know apt-get used to be able to do it, haven't done it in a while. give me a sec [07:06] etherealite: waht does 'uname -r' spit out? [07:06] Doyle 2.6.32-21-generic [07:06] is there anything apt-get can do that aptitude can't? [07:07] Takieda, yes [07:07] 不知道 [07:07] 能看到中文么 [07:07] Takieda: no [07:07] fhmdgxs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:07] adzy - you still here [07:07] st__, and rww, duke it out :) [07:07] slooksterpsv, yea man :D [07:08] adzy - what did you need help with - regarding guest additions [07:08] Guest69063: FloodBot3 is a bot. If you need help, ask in-channel. [07:08] slooksterpsv, Im running ubuntu 10.04 as main OS and in virtual box i got Backtrack r1 running [07:08] !cn | fhmdgxs [07:08] fhmdgxs: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:08] etherealite: ok, we're going to go to install 2.6.32-24-generic if it's available. Do a 'apt-cache search linux-image' it should list linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic [07:09] Samba in ubuntu messes up with my login/password so that it rejects by Windows server,,, any ideas why? [07:09] adzy - ok, and you can't get the guest additions to install on that? [07:09] slooksterpsv, I tried installing addons but nothing happened [07:09] slooksterpsv, yea [07:09] etherealite: if it does run 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic' if not just pick a nice looking image, or the same as you have now. === ibrahim is now known as ibrahim-kasem [07:09] Need to install a printer on 64 bit sys 10.04 lucid... I have the .386 cups wrapper and lpr that's offered at Brothers site but the deb installer gives me error message. Package: mfc495cwcupswrapper Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [07:10] adzy - when you install the guest additions does it give any errors (e.g. running the install from terminal) [07:10] nope [07:10] can anybody recommend a guide for getting an external monitor to work wiith ubuntu? [07:10] adzy, does it give output like compiling kernel additions, etc.? [07:10] slooksterpsv, but i did download some file on my ubuntu drive even tho i installed thru virtual box [07:10] dasnbob: have a look at this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=915422 [07:10] dasnbob, so what's your question? [07:11] slooksterpsv, and i have them mounted on the virtualbox [07:11] dasnbob: see if you can find a ppd file for your printer - that'll let cups recognize your printer. I know brother typically provides ppd files [07:11] but dont know what to do [07:11] ubuntu sux [07:11] oops [07:11] Istalled the driver on 64 bit sys on my desktop using command line ..... spoon fed , forgot how [07:11] trolls... what to do. [07:11] nope [07:12] slooksterpsv, nope [07:12] oh a ppd looking now [07:12] wish he told us why it sux, then we could fix it! [07:12] slooksterpsv, there is a .iso file on ubuntu drive [07:12] haha [07:12] adzy, right you mount the iso in virtualbox while backtrack is running so it mounts the cdrom [07:13] slooksterpsv, i did that [07:13] adzy, are you running VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run or VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run? [07:13] * fhmdgxs faint [07:13] slooksterpsv, i cant run either cause i cant find those files. [07:14] adzy - oh ok, do this open a terminal and type in: ls /media - what is the output there? [07:14] slooksterpsv, when i mount it i cant find it in the /media/cdrom/ directory [07:14] Doyle no effect. [07:14] rusivi, probably he meant that only redhat actually does something for linux, other distros just wanking around stealing to garb more support pie money [07:14] etherealite: nooooo. Anything in /boot folder? [07:14] etherealite: it did the kernel install right? [07:14] slooksterpsv, when i ls is shows nothing... thats what i dont get [07:14] adzy, it'll have a different name lik VBOXADDITIONS or something like that, if nothing is in /media, do this sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media [07:15] adzy, then cd /media && sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run [07:15] how can i know how many monitors attached on my GPU ??? Is that possible ? [07:15] st_ hehe [07:16] slooksterpsv, the first part didnt work [07:16] st_ hey I'm all about support [07:16] st_ support me damnit! [07:16] nope no ppd file at the Brother support site [07:17] ok do this, in Virtualbox (while the vm is running) click on Devices -> Install Guest Additions [07:17] dasnbob: what printer is it? [07:17] slooksterpsv, done [07:17] adzy sorry did not troll prior comments but are you using OSE or PUEL? [07:17] Doyle working on it. [07:17] adzy, now try the: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media [07:18] rusivi, Oracle [07:18] mfc495cw [07:18] slooksterpsv, it said mount device doesnt exit [07:18] yeah you have to command line it in the same directory at Terminal: sh linux.... [07:19] adzy: give me a sec I'll get you direct command line [07:19] ok thanks [07:19] this is driving me crazy :D [07:19] ahh that's why: adzy, try sudo mount /dev/hdc /media [07:19] the 465cn is in the extras pkg in the repositories but don't work on the 495cw [07:19] adzy: it was annoying for me at first b/c I was expecting Windows click -> run and did not happen [07:20] hey peeps my mic/audioout jack on my netbook does nto work.. [07:20] adzy: it's a work in progress on the click and go... [07:20] i got nosound out of it.. [07:20] is there some switch i go to throw in the os? [07:20] adzy: df showed the install cd was mounted as /dev/hdc - so yeah that's why we'll do sudo mount /dev/hdc /media - instead of mount /dev/sr0 [07:20] i checked my alsmixer and i didnt see any [07:20] slooksterpsv, mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only [07:20] rusivi: yes it is lol, Linux hates mounting vbox cdroms [07:20] adzy, perfect! [07:20] i wanted to use headphones [07:21] adzy, now do cd /media && sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run [07:21] is there a command in ubuntu to check and reinstall corrupted packages? [07:21] Doyle yup, /boot is still empty, damn! [07:21] when I boot in ubuntu 10.04, every other boot it complains that my boot partition is not ext2. - which is true, it is ext4. how do I disable this check? [07:21] ty slooksterpsv [07:21] I was 2 secs from pasting that [07:21] (rofl) [07:22] slooksterps, WHOOOOOOO its doing something :D [07:22] rusivi - lol [07:22] adzy, yay *crossing fingers* [07:22] slooksterps, its building now :D thanks guys :D [07:22] adzy - yw =D [07:23] rusivi, maybe you know this, does kvm have guest additions or that or no? [07:23] slooksterps, so when its done, do i reboot? then how to i change settings so it will run and proper fullscreen? [07:23] in other words, I have to power off the machine and turn it on again just to boot [07:23] adzy: if they work right. it should automatically do that. [07:23] slooksterps, it worked ... i reboot the vb now :D [07:23] xscroll: is it a default install ? [07:24] adzy, yes it should tell you to reboot, there's a few different things you can do, under Machine you can have it resize the screen when you resize the window, run fullscreen, or even have it run in "seamless" mode [07:24] gr8m8: yes [07:24] xscroll: that's strange then [07:24] etherealite: very strange. do a 'locate linux-image' just for fun [07:25] did I spell strange wrong? - looks wrong [07:25] gr8m8 - nope strange is right [07:25] thnx slooksterpsv [07:25] slooksterps, it worked!!!!!!!!! Thanks heaps guys!!!!!!!!! [07:25] gr8m8 :P anytime [07:26] adzy - your welcome :D [07:26] I love VirtualBox, it's my friend [07:26] is it possible to have squashfs+lzma support in lucid [07:26] slooksterpsv: idk I'm very VBox-centric at this point, tried virt-manager and it was GUI crippled for Ubuntu Lucid RC have not used since https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/494851 [07:26] I'm still GUI-centric in a lot of ways [07:26] rusivi, kvm kills my 64-bit for virtualbox, which sucks, but I kind of like it for servers [07:26] slooksterps, I hope i do too :D how do u know that mount command was it in a doc or anything? [07:27] slooksterpsv I'll have to check that out, i'm in beta atm for Maverick may give it a go [07:27] adzy, nope used df to find where the cdrom was mounted on installation (hdc), and just used that logic to mount it that way [07:27] Doyle looks like it went to nowhere, all i see is /usr/share/doc/linux-iamge-2.6blah-generic [07:27] gr8m8: blah. guess I will just copy the boot files off, format as ext2 [07:27] adzy, ubuntu uses /dev/sr0, I've used a distro where it was /dev/cdrom it varies [07:27] adzy: virtualbox just added teh vbox.iso to a device that needed to be mounted like any other 'real' filesystem. [07:27] slooksterpsv: what I like though is the option to go full command line [07:27] xscroll: has your system done a filesystem check ? - the full one at 30 boots/ [07:27] adzy: /dev/cdrom should be a link to /dev/sr0, also /dev/dvd is proberly a link to /dev/sr0 as qwell [07:28] etherealite: can you reinstall? [07:28] etherealite: fresh? [07:28] slooksterpsv: one thing I hated about Windows, could not command line half the stuff I thought would be way easier had to play hungry, hungry clicker [07:28] rusivi, I've been learning some of the vbox command line args, which is neat, but I don't think it'd work in a vm server (e.g. Ubuntu server running vms for other computers) [07:28] slooksterpsv, ok thanks for the tip :) i only had ubuntu for about a week so still getting the hang of it :D [07:28] adzy, Ubuntus great to start, vm some others and see how they work, Fedora is nice, but gstreamer hates me in Fedora [07:28] slooksterpsv: you would have to use Oracle's biz class VBox for that kind of stuff [07:29] how can i know how many monitors attached on my GPU ??? Is that possible ? [07:29] slooksterpsv: or vmware [07:29] Doyle I can, but i'd eventually like to figiure out how to recover from this stuff when i'm running an encrypted root dir. [07:29] xscroll: you could try sudo shutdown -rF now to make it do that [07:29] slooksterpsv, lol yea ill try a few others soon :D [07:29] Mba7eth: how many conectors does it have ? [07:29] Mba7eth: and whats the chipset? [07:29] two [07:29] rusivi, yeah Windows cli sucks, but I know a few commands to do a few things, not very much it's all vbscript and that; well I meant for personal use here at home [07:29] nvidia GTX295 [07:30] can someone point me to squashfs4+lzma support in lucid [07:30] rusivi, you can install bash in windows if you prefer it [07:30] slooksterpsv: nice, yeah I'm not patient enough to do it the "windows" way, I'd rather just do a google search and blamo got what I want [07:30] Mba7eth: check the nvidia-xconfig command, it proberly has some 'info' about whats connected. [07:30] Doyle ok, i ran update-initramfs and ove got a kernel img in /boot [07:30] Dr_Willis, thanks [07:30] Dr_Willis, i'll look into it [07:30] :) [07:30] st__ uh... I don't like Windows, but that would be cool, I'm so sick of eulas that are so restricting [07:30] Mba7eth: backup your xorg.conf first.. that command likes to change it [07:31] or Mba7eth do System-> Administration -> Nvidia X Server Settings and use that. [07:31] Doyle I've gotten an image in there before but it never works === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:31] st_ I do hit the terminal a lot for a ton of things in ubuntu/linux [07:31] slooksterpsv, I would sign any eula to get my network working [07:31] st_ I'm not afraid of it at all [07:31] Dr_willis MBa7eth I think the gui is easier to use. [07:31] Mba7eth: nvidia-settings -> X config for the nvidia stuff. nvidia-xconfig a Text based tool for the settings [07:31] st__ mmm... Ubuntu makes my network work better hehe =P [07:31] st_ just don't like the lack of options and easy customization with Windows [07:31] everything is a production [07:32] chiluk: I imagine he wanted a cli way to remote figure it out.. if he was there at the desktop.. he could look and see the # of monitors plugged in. :) [07:32] Not trying to trash windows, I still use it for a lot of neat things [07:32] rusivi I keep a terminal open just cause I like to do things in terminal, move files, mount images, even surf the net sometimes (using Lynx) [07:32] rusivi: and those things get fewer and fewer every day. :) [07:32] yeah I guess... or he could be using x forwarding through ssh. [07:32] well, try this... under 'unknown command initrd' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 let me know if it works, but I have doubts [07:32] etherealite: well, try this... under 'unknown command initrd' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 let me know if it works, but I have doubts [07:32] or any number of other things. [07:33] Dr_Willis - true, I've found my cool things to do in ubuntu than Windows, networking, programming, gaming, etc. [07:33] *more not my [07:33] wow this channel is busy tonight. [07:33] Dr_Willis hehe Windows has a lot of catching up to do in terms of bringing easy of customization to the end-user [07:33] easy = ease [07:33] Me Menu is not supporting Broadcasting. Wen I click "Broadcast", Gwibber doesn't load. [07:33] what gcc is better: 3.4, 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4? [07:34] st__: depends on your needs.. [07:34] bigger # = better ALWAYS! [07:34] gcc2010 :) [07:34] chiluk: that's what I'm thinking, at least until it's followed by _beta [07:34] slooksterpsv yeah I just re-discovered my terminal is a pretty good internet browser :p [07:34] especially when talking about watts! and MHZ and ... [07:34] chiluk - haha so Windows ME was better than 98 cause ME is bigger than 98? lol had to say that [07:34] YES! [07:35] slooksterpsv, it was [07:35] chiluk haha [07:35] linux won't run my autocad, autocivil and 3d max which windows does [07:35] Gwibber doesn't start from Notification applet or Me Menu. Any solution? [07:35] in all seriousness most gcc's have worked fine for me...and unless you are looking for some specific feature [07:35] just install what installs by default with the gcc packags. [07:35] rxd1, blender >> 3dmax [07:35] rxd1: i saw a Professional cad program for linux that just got released last week. [07:35] st__ lol [07:36] every time Gnome starts up, gconf-sanity-check-2 has a coronary, exiting status, I believe it's 256...anyone know of a solution for this? [07:36] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/bricscad-comes-to-linux-cad-comes-of-age [07:37] Ive not used auto cad in ages - no idea how BrisCad Stacks up [07:37] haha, I LOLed the first time I got the sanity-check error from a computer [07:37] haha my Ubuntu is insane [07:37] Geoffrey2 try searching launchpad [07:37] Geoffrey2 launchpad.net that is .. [07:37] Hi all ! [07:38] hi Nek [07:38] I have a little problem [07:38] =/ [07:38] http://pastebin.com/nbJesUrK [07:38] Bricscad License keys can be purchased for around £365.00 <- this is not linux...linux suppose to be free hehe [07:38] Can you help me ? [07:38] rxd1: err.. not really. [07:38] :) [07:38] nek you don't need to sudo when you are already root. [07:39] I'm with Dr_Willis (see Mandriva) [07:39] But My cad needs are minimal.. qcad does what i need [07:39] Nek try gpg -a --export 89DF5277 | apt-key add - [07:39] Dr_Willis: its good to see i can't get rid of windows soon [07:39] since you are already root. [07:39] Dr_Willis, does qcad do dwgs? [07:39] everytime you sudo from root Neo hacks your computer [07:39] lol ! thanks chiluk [07:39] qcad lacks many usefull things in cad [07:39] rxd1: do what you want. You want to get rid of windows.. but you want to do it for 'free' .. good luck [07:39] sudo as root should still work [07:39] I'm sorry for coming with a little probleme like that -_- [07:39] st__: no idea. I dont need that feature [07:39] nek ... any time. [07:40] unless sudo isn't installed. [07:40] qcad does what I need... :) your needs are not the same as mine. [07:40] I can remove sudo? lol [07:40] Dr_Willis not necessarily they could be :P [07:40] it doesn't exist on many embedded distros. [07:40] I don't quite know what he's running' [07:40] slooksterpsv, yes, but don't forget to enable root acc first [07:40] chiluk st__ :O [07:40] ok will do =P [07:41] autocad in not merely drafting or drawing, it has its programming side like lisp with bricscad hope i can be done by shell scripting [07:41] or sudo might just not be in his path.. [07:41] Demerezel see you have returned ...any news on the printer prb? [07:41] I just updated ubuntu and now X and sound are fiddled up D; [07:41] plus, qcad is QT app! [07:41] KayAteChef - how so? [07:41] so anyone know how to make empathy not tell me when people connect and disconnect? I haven't decided if I'll keep empathy for irc yet... [07:41] no sound [07:42] st__: so... [07:42] and display settings are wrong [07:42] so it will have several hundreds of megabytes of dependencies... [07:42] KayAteChef, what kind of computer? sound card? video card? Ubuntu version? 32-bit or 64-bit? lol [07:42] how do I ensure my cron job starts at 2am when daylights savings starts tomorrow morning at 2am? [07:43] quietone compromise with 2:01 am? [07:43] oh man do we gain or lose time? [07:43] etherealite: I'm out, good luck. Msg me if you find a solution. [07:43] Doyle will do thanx! [07:43] doyle : sorry i had to run some people home. do you know what i have to do to get the phone working as mass storage unit? [07:44] chiluk, there won't be a 2:01! we will be springing ahead. 2am -> 3am. [07:44] 1:59 then! [07:44] shayne, usually you just plug it in and use as flash media [07:44] yuck I need to get to sleep then. [07:45] where is daylight savings time happening at? I don't think ours is until nov. (u.s.) [07:45] chiluk, yes, 1:59 would work. Are there solutions so that I don't have to tweak crontab twice a yr. [07:45] st__ it used to work as that but know it does not show up anywhere, as soon as i updated the ubuntu it just stopped working [07:45] * Acido- is away, unf [l/][p/] [07:45] !dst [07:46] quietone: cron contains special coding to deal with daylight saving time. Search for "daylight" on http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man8/cron.8.html (or on man cron) [07:46] slooksterpsv, Aotearoa/New Zealand [07:46] !away > Acido- [07:46] Acido-, please see my private message [07:46] oh ok thanks quietone [07:46] quietone: basically, if you're skipping from 2am to 3am, anything that would have been run in that hour is run shortly after the time change. [07:47] * slooksterpsv waves hi to everyone. =D [07:48] rww: if you set someone to run every hour, does it run it twice at 3 [and not at all at the 2/2 the other end of the year], or does it just do it hourly? [07:48] quietone: the cron manpage clearly explains how "time changes" are handled. setting a cron @ 2am will run @3am (in the spring forward case). [07:48] slooksterpsv: Yes, US is in November. Congress screwed around with our DST dates to make them even further from everyone else's :\ [07:48] *something [07:48] rww oic [07:49] wouldn't set the clock to synch with public clocks during install take care of Daylight savings switches [07:49] Random832: See the manpage. If it's set to run at a specific time once a day, it'll be run at 3. If it uses wildcards, it'll be run the next time it would normally be run. [07:49] ah [07:49] what is "@hourly"? - the manpage talks about this but makes no other references to @stuff [07:49] dasnbob: Due to the way that ntp and Linux handle time, that isn't an issue. Syncing will not cause problems. [07:50] Random832: It's the same as 1 * * ... * commandhere. The wikipedia page on cron has a nice table. [07:50] still haven't installed the .386 drivers for my printer on a 64 bit sys ..... [07:50] Random832: sorry, 0, not 1 [07:50] slooksterpsv: I was trying to pastebin the details and I ran apt-get install pastebinit but had to do sudo dpkg --configure -a [07:50] and now it is configuring everything under the sun [07:50] holy snapping crocodiles [07:50] hey [07:51] thune3, yes, I should have read the man page first. [07:51] do they ubuntu repos. have NAIM? [07:51] KateAteChef lol [07:51] hello friends, there is any tool in ubuntu which can be used foe multimedia editing,mixing and other features [07:51] yeah bricscad can load lsp file ....:) [07:51] join #irssi [07:51] Random832: You may be reading the wrong man page. Read this one $ man 5 crontab [07:51] apctr: I'm sure there is... [07:51] etherealite: I'm using IRSSI... [07:51] does it have a plugin for AIM? [07:51] apctr - music, video or both? or other? [07:51] p1oooop FTW! [07:51] !bitlbee | p1oooop [07:52] ... what. I swear ubottu had a bitlbee factoid o.O [07:52] also, how do I disable alt + "arrow key" TTY switching? [07:52] slooksterpsv: all kind of multimedia content..image,animation,audio,video a...... [07:52] ah [07:52] http://pastebin.com/PHiLLKdQ [07:52] p1oooop you know how I can make it so that i get a notification when my friends are on this server? [07:52] thnks gdb [07:52] etherealite: hmmmmm...... nope. [07:52] p1oooop: can u provide me some info abour it [07:52] Random832: Sure thing! The default is crontab(1) which is the user command, while crontab(5) contains the crontab file format. :) [07:52] apctr - there's tons, mixxx is good for audio, kdenlive is good for video, gimp and xara are good for graphics [07:53] apctr: sorry, I haven't been on ubuntu for a long time :P [07:53] I'm going to hardcore terminal ;) [07:54] slooksterpsv: Is there any package like flash cs4....where we can code about multimedia feature.... [07:54] KayAteChef ok gimme a sec to look through this lol [07:54] etherealite: I think supybot can do something about that... make a python script that interfaces with a music player [07:55] p1oooop hmm, should I just script a standalone python bot, meaning not integrated into IRSII? Cuz IRSSI is all perl and perl is all suck [07:55] How can i shutdown the computer using terminal? [07:55] Syria sudo shutdown [07:55] or sudo telinit 0 [07:56] etherealite: Try `shutdown --help' for more information. [07:56] etherealite: hehe, perl [07:56] :P [07:56] perl = WTF is this!!! [07:56] PHP = WTF IS THIS STUFF!!!! perl + C++? [07:57] C++ = wow, this is hardcore [07:57] man nice could be clearer - if I add nice -n 10 in front of a command that should make it back off if I open another app? [07:57] KayAteChef - did you upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu? [07:57] C = damn hardcore, ASM = HARDCORE PROGRAMMING TO THE MAX! [07:57] !ot [07:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:57] !wtf [07:57] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:57] p1oooop Perl is an text extraction language, emphasis on extraction. Everything else is gross. [07:57] slooksterpsv: nope [07:57] rww: sorry. [07:57] I was helping someone out and I had temporarily installed ubuntu on their system. Now he wants Win XP, but since it was an ext4 file system I used the boot disk to format the mounted drives into NTFS, but I screwed up. I told it to designate it as empty (0x00) and that process hung for an hour or so before I shut it down. Now it's unbootable. What should I do sensei?. [07:58] dynemo: use the disk, luke! [07:58] dynemo: use the xp disk to set the partition to ntfs maybe [07:58] KayAteChef - do you have pulseaudio installed? [07:59] yes slooksterpsv I reckon I do [07:59] gr8m8: that works LOL! [07:59] ploop: Can't it says no native filesystem [07:59] KayAteChef - open a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol [07:59] dynemo: what about the ubuntu disk? [07:59] did you rip out the disk drive or something? [08:00] dynemo: sounds like the pc is not booting from the optical drive [08:00] ploop: I put in the ubuntu disk and after waiting for a looong time and right now it shows initramfs [08:00] dynemo: or its having issues reading the disks. [08:00] Dr_Willis: It is [08:00] Nope [08:00] I am running the ubuntu live disk right now [08:00] dynemo: 0.o [08:00] dynemo: check the 'sudo fdisk -l' partitioning layout. and see what the disk partitions are.. delete them all.. boot windows disk.. let it remake them [08:00] and it isn't showing a native filesystem hence the installer won't work it has instead put me on the initramfs [08:01] not found [08:01] dynemo: sounds more and more like you are having some hardware issues... whats 'not found' ? [08:01] gr8m8: right, nice value is a measure of how yeilding it is (positive nice is lower priority). I've grown fond of "chrt -i 0 command" to set some tasks to idle priority, where they only get spare cycles. [08:01] Like I said I told it to overwrite the file system to empty [08:01] anyone knows how to deal with low graphic in lucid? can't login to gdm [08:01] and I screwed up the process [08:02] etherealite: I guess that's why it was used as the first "php" [08:02] dynemo: it should not matter.. the windows install disks can repartition a totally empty/blank/unpartioned disk. Or should be able to at least. [08:02] There are no other hardware issues as I fixed the system fromma keyboard error and checked it. [08:02] thune3: thnx :] [08:02] dynemo: are these windows 'recovery' disks? or actual windows 'disks' [08:02] The windows installer hangs [08:02] Actual disks [08:02] I know I am dumb but I ain't that dumb [08:03] so the mbr is borked [08:03] dynemo: fdisk -l says what exactly? disk not found? [08:03] i have installed a new plymouth theme, how can i restore the original one? [08:03] dynemo: you could 'zero' the drive with dd. but thats a bit extreme [08:03] /bin/sh: sudo : not found [08:03] dynemo: dont use sudo then. :) [08:03] you are root allready [08:03] p1oooop Well, sadly it rocked php for a long time as a programming language, PHP Sucked BIG TIME until recently when now it just plain sucks. [08:03] I have backed up the data by the way [08:04] he's on busybox [08:04] I was helping someone out and I had temporarily installed ubuntu on their system. Now he wants Win XP, but since it was an ext4 file system I used the boot disk to format the mounted drives into NTFS, but I screwed up. I told it to designate it as empty (0x00) and that process hung for an hour or so before I shut it down. Now it's unbootable. Will super grub solve this? [08:04] Thank you. and zeroing the drive ain't an issue [08:04] Sorry about that [08:04] anyone knows how to deal with low graphic in lucid? can't login to gdm [08:04] dynemo: ive used dd to zero disks and windows has seen/partitoned/formated them just fine. === elpasmo is now known as ElPasmo [08:05] scriptwarlock: and your video card/chipset is? [08:05] Dr_Willis: I have backed up the data and it's okay. The problem with me is that I have partially zeroed it [08:05] Dr_Willis: intel i965 [08:05] Dr_Willis: built-in [08:05] dynemo: Why do you want to zero the drive? [08:05] dynemo: $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 [08:05] dynemo, just boot from xp disk and recreate partitions [08:06] hello friends, there is any tool in ubuntu which can be used foe multimedia editing,mixing and other features [08:06] dynemo: If that's what you're looking to do (blow away the partition information). [08:06] dynemo: shouldent matter. let it zero for 10 sec.. or a few min.. [08:06] ciao [08:06] !it [08:06] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:06] dynemo: Okay tell me how to zero it. [08:06] apctr: I use avidemux [08:06] dynemo: Before you actually do it I'd like to make sure you're not making your life unneccesarily harder. [08:06] apctr, for business or fun? [08:06] Dr_Willis: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 03) [08:06] dynemo: I just did. ;-) [08:06] Dr_Willis : I am stressed out over here. I am getting stupid [08:07] Dr_Willis : Sorry. [08:07] st__: it is in our acadamic curriculam multimedia lab.... [08:07] scriptwarlock: you may want t check the forums. Ive no expreience with that intel card. if you have a existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf you may want to rename it. so X can try to use the defaults [08:07] st__: can you help me?? [08:07] Dr_Willis: found no xorg.conf in lucid [08:08] Dr_Willis: instead i have xorg.conf.failsafe but anyway thanks [08:08] apctr, no [08:08] scriptwarlock: ive no other ideas then. some Intel video cards got issues.... [08:09] Dr_Willis: yeah ty [08:09] anything better than VLC for linux? [08:09] ok slooksterpsv we have sound [08:09] scriptwarlock: you might try the i810 video driver. thats what i had to do with my i945gz [08:10] KateAteChef - Woot! that's good =D [08:10] Dr_Willis: you mean downgrade? [08:10] Dr_Willis: i mean install that one? === jillsmitt_ is now known as jillsmitt [08:10] scriptwarlock: try i_is_broke :) not me.. :) i have no intel stuff any more. [08:10] or can you still do that now with the no xorg.conf giles [08:11] oops files [08:11] Dr_Willis: heheh no problem ill find a way for this [08:11] scriptwarlock: have you read the X log? [08:11] Dr_Willis: yeah and its kinda weird after some updates [08:11] multipass: mplayer-nogui [08:11] hope this is a simple question.... how does one navigate to a folder in a terminal? [08:11] I'm 5 for 7 of helping fix issues =D not bad imo [08:12] dasnbob: cd [08:12] dasnbob - cd directoryname - if you need to go to the root of the drive its cd / [08:12] i need to install an ati rage 128 card on an older box...which driver should i choose between r128-dri and the xf86-video-r128? [08:12] How to I get a beep via bash? echo -e "\a" isn't working. [08:13] are xf86-* [08:13] quietone: enable the pcspkr module. its blacklisted by default [08:13] still in ubuntu? [08:13] uh... I just got a popup [08:13] quietone: or perhaps try the 'beep' command. [08:13] ok so for desktop it would be cd/desktop ? [08:13] dasnbob cd /Desktop [08:14] thank you :) [08:14] dasnbob type in ls to list all files and directories, ls [08:14] Dr_Willis: i saw here lucid is using fbdev [08:14] *all visible lol ls -a shows all files and directories [08:14] Hi all, I'm having problems with audio in Ubuntu, although my audio system it's correct (I tried in Windows and it was working before upgrading Ubuntu) now it's not recognized. Here is my system report: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4e90bd4282b4e210de4b7f227cd970662e62354c [08:14] blakkheim: movie player? [08:14] quietone: That's more complicated than it should be at the moment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/486154 [08:14] quietone: there was a bug ages ago in X that also made that not work. [08:15] scriptwarlock: fbdev is used by the console for purty looks.. but not by X last i checked. [08:15] quietone: Easiest option is to disable compiz and use metacity instead, less invasive option is to unblacklist pcspkr and use the "beep" command. [08:15] ElPasmo - try this, press ALT+F2 and type in gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [08:15] isn't working ....hmmm [08:16] ElPasmo - then type in the following at the very end (on it's own new line): options snd-hda-intel model=auto [08:16] save and see if that works [08:16] multipass: yes it is [08:16] ElPasmo - save then reboot and let us know if that worked - sorry [08:16] cool thx [08:16] dasnbob - cd Desktop [08:17] Dr_Willis: got really hard time for this low graphic mode with intel... np for nvidia [08:17] ok [08:17] scriptwarlock: Intel sort of outsourced some of their driver work.. and from what i hear.. got ripped off. :) [08:17] * hzhz TzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzT [08:17] * hzhz TzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzT [08:17] * hzhz TzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzT [08:17] * hzhz TzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzTzT [08:17] hzhz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:18] Dr_Willis: dont i can move to meerkat if this is the case.. aw what is that? [08:18] scriptwarlock: try a meercat live cd and see. [08:18] hmmm pkg is on desktop and getting mssg can not find [08:18] Dr_Willis: Well, they outsourced the hardware work also. Which is why they couldn't write proper drivers themselves ("trade secrets"). [08:18] hah had to check for a second. started typing out the ban for him and realized that I'm on the freenode channel not mine on efnet [08:18] dasnbob what package? is it .deb, .tar.gz, .sh, .run, other [08:18] dasnbob: most likely a typo on your part. Linux IS CaSe SenesTivbe and use th TAB key to complete names [08:18] hi, everybody. i am planning to clean-install the up-to-date ubuntu over ubuntu 8.04 on a dual-boot machine (having now xp and ubuntu). is there any danger of messing up grub after a clean install? [08:19] Dr_Willis: yeah.. but for a mooment i'll just use this kind of account "root" wew too scary [08:19] try to install a 32 bit printer driver pkg on a 64 bit sys 10.04 [08:19] batshwa: Not really. [08:19] scriptwarlock: you can login to the console and use 'startx' as a normal user. see if the res changes on the desktop [08:19] scriptwarlock: it could be some odd quirk that GDM is using the wrong res [08:19] Dr_Willis, Jordan_U, thx. [08:19] dasnbob what kind of file is it? an archive a deb file other??? [08:19] quietone: You're welcome. [08:19] Jordan_U: so i will not have to configure it by hand or something like that? [08:19] scriptwarlock: go to console. 'sudo service gdm stop' 'startx' [08:20] Dr_Willis : The windows disk isn't booting [08:20] Dr_Willis: yeah thats the suspect i guess thats why cant login to normal user it just flicker and then display low grph [08:20] Dr_Willis : Any tips sensei? [08:20] Hi all, I have a problem. I tried out linux mint on a separate partition, and when i deleted it after i installed it i seem to have lost grub, any idea how to get back in? [08:20] dynemo: see #windows [08:20] batshwa: No, it should Just Work™ [08:20] Gandalf - boot off of a live cd... umm... it's a long process let me find you the link === happydude is now known as happysnappy [08:21] elpasmo - did that work? [08:21] ah k, yeah i'm running live cd now [08:21] Jordan_U: all right, will try it. thanks! [08:21] Dr_Willis: Um, I'd rather install ubuntu on this system first. How do I do that. [08:21] Checking right now slooksterpsv [08:21] .deb [08:21] Dr_Willis: let me check [08:21] Gandalf: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:21] no slooksterpsv, it didn't work [08:21] Dr_Willis: brb [08:21] batshwa: You're welcome. [08:21] mfc495cwlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb [08:21] cheers jordan [08:22] dynemo: pop in cd.. boot it.. or use a usb flash drive that you set up as a boot.installer via unetbootin, or other tools [08:22] dasnbob - type in sudo dpkg -i ./mfc495 [08:22] dynemo: its better to install windows first. [08:22] getting message with deb installer wrong fromat [08:22] i need to install an ati rage 128 card on an older box...which driver should i choose between r128-dri and the xf86-video-r128? [08:22] elpasmo ok let's see... [08:22] Dr_Willis : I know the master boot record, but it isn't working on either of the two. [08:23] Dr_Willis : It's bizarre what I've done. [08:23] dynemo: sounds like there deeper issues going on.. could be some boot record protection in the bios also. [08:23] also my home folder is encrypted, is this going to cause any extra problems? [08:23] dynemo: if you used dd to zero the drive.. anything you have done has been undone. [08:23] uncle_ben, those are components of the same thing [08:24] Dr_Willis: In the past few days I had installed Ubuntu on the system twice (the keyboard had shorted out and I was trying to learn stuff) [08:24] dynemo: unless theres some MBR feature in th bios that is stopping the dd from working properly [08:24] Dr_WIllis: I don't know how to dd [08:24] dynemo: we mentioned it earluier.. 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2048' or similer command... [08:24] elpasmo what does cat /proc/asound/version [08:24] Dr_Willis: As far as I know it's not possible for the BIOS to prevent access to a drive. [08:24] writes all zeros to the HD.. [08:24] Dr_Willis: no luck just flickers.. can i create another user and delete the login normal acount? using this root account [08:25] *output so type in a terminal: cat /proc/asound/version [08:25] Jordan_U: ive seen some sort of Bios AV protextion in the past that can goof things up. buti always make sure its off. [08:25] Dr_Willis : Okay this is getting bizarre the windows setup screen just came up after I did a reboot [08:25] slooksterpsv: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23. [08:25] Compiled on Aug 18 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-24-generic-pae (SMP). [08:25] scriptwarlock: you can make a new user. no need to delete the other. [08:25] scriptwarlock: its very likely NOT a 'user' setting issue [08:25] Dr_Willis: I tried that. It have an error [08:25] elpasmo are you trying to do hdmi audio or regular? [08:25] need to force install somehow [08:26] dynemo: if it boots sometimes, and not others.. well.. thats signs of deeper problems. May want to open the case/check all wires and clean the disks/dust out the drives [08:26] package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [08:26] slooksterpsv: mmm I'm just trying any of them... [08:26] Dr_Willis: yeah but the problem is when booting it loads the normal user even it was set to not have a login password [08:26] dasnbob - sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i ./mfc [08:26] scriptwarlock: go to the console, 'sudo service gdm stop' [08:26] slooksterpsv: But I really didn't understand your question... [08:26] Dr_Willis: and then? [08:27] elpasmo, hdmi or 3.5mm jack lol [08:27] scriptwarlock: make a new user 'sudo adduser billgates' , logout, login as 'billgates' and try 'startx' then [08:27] elpasmo or integrated speakers [08:27] USB headphones [08:27] Dr_Willis: the interesting thing is that I was pressing [enter] whenever I encountered the windows, boot from CD screen. This time I pressed the arrow keys. It worked. [08:27] Hi again, when i try and chroot in, i get "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt [08:27] thank you :) [08:27] chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error [08:27] " [08:27] slooksterpsv: anyway, sound preferences doesn't recognize any soundcard... so I think there is no way any of them could work right now [08:28] Dr_Willis: room number? [08:28] Dr_Willis: hek billgates wont give his room number [08:28] scriptwarlock: 'think' :) dont just follow what people blindly say... [08:28] scriptwarlock: hit enter a dozen times.. [08:28] Dr_Willis: This is a laptop that was serviced yesterday (new keyboard) [08:28] Dr_Willis: lol === elpasmo is now known as ElPasmo [08:28] dynemo: sounds like it may have deeper issues that they missed. [08:29] Dr_Willis: Wow the XP sertup ois working. [08:29] Dr_Willis: brb [08:29] dynemo: i would not be trusting that thing very much. :) [08:29] I guess i could of tld scriptwarlock he could login at a 2nd console as the new user... === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [08:30] Dr_Willis: too late :P [08:31] Dr_Willis: I wouldn't be trusting this uman that much. Damn I have issues. [08:31] Dr_Willis: * human ;) [08:31] I'm still here slooksterpsv, I've just changed my nick to uppercase (just in case you autocomplete and didn't find me) :) [08:31] Can someone help me with a problem please. All of my media and home directory are opening in VLC media player. When I try to open a media (like a my CD player, or my secondary drive), or my home directory VLC opens. [08:31] hi guys ... any of you have problems with the hotkeys on toshiba ? [08:31] that got it actually saved instructs to text document..... [08:31] trying to add a samba share to my fstab and doing something wrong, anyone have a sec? current entry is "//htpc/Videos /media/htpc smbfs username=****,password=***** 0 0" with or without smb: at the beginning. the error I get is "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //htpc/videos, missing codepage or helper program, or other error" [08:31] I have a toshiba sarellite pro ... and my hotkeys aint working [08:31] ElPasmo no worries, trying to figure this out lol, almost want to say ditch PulseAudio and switch to OSS [08:31] antIP: right click on a folder, properties, open with tab.. see what its set to open with by default.. remove vlc if its in the list [08:32] Maybe we can give it a try slooksterpsv, I'm really lost with this problem :) [08:32] Dr_Willis: As soon as I right click on anything VLC media player opens up. [08:32] miststlkr: you dont use 'smb://whatever' type names in fstab. :) [08:32] Dr_Willis: Open with tab is not available for folders [08:32] antIP: thats odd.. [08:32] miststlkr, what mount.cifs -v say? [08:33] ElPasmo - start going through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound - computer about to go dead gonna jump on my big computer [08:33] dpac_: hmm. weird.. some how i managed to make mine default to vlc a few weeks back... [08:33] Dr_Willis: It's working. What do you think happened? There's something really interesting to learn over here and I am sure that the error was in my actions. [08:33] st__: says not installed Dr_Willis: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ says otherwise [08:33] miststlkr, install it then [08:34] antIP: Try this script. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager [08:34] dpac_: shift, right click, open with .... It should be 'nautilus' i think by default... [08:34] dynemo: You got flakey hardware.. would be my #1 bet. [08:34] Dr_Willis: Yes it is. I came home and my wife told me that maybe she did something to the computer. She opened my secondary drive and went to a directory and right clicked on the movie and opened it with VLC. She had checked the "remember" option when she opened with VLC. But I don't know how that would have caused this problem. [08:34] Dr_Willis: Yeah, just got it. Its not there in the properties, though [08:34] dynemo: but who can tell. :) [08:35] st__: not listed in Synaptic, just apt-get it? [08:35] dpac: Why would I run a script to make Thunar my default file manager? [08:35] dpac_: ive had quirks where the folders/locations want to open with the AV scanner by default also.. to many things want to add themeslfs as the 'default app listing' for folders. [08:35] it's called smbfs or like [08:35] Dr_Willis: any ideas? [08:36] I'm new to this whole Evolution IRC chat earlier I used it and seen a list of everyone in the chat room on the right hand side, now I don't see it any ideas? [08:36] Dr_Willis: Maybe I've got a flaky human.... :) Thank you for helping me out [08:36] Dr_Willis: True. [08:36] dpac - Dr_Willis: something is clearly wrong with Nautilus, can I just restart it? [08:36] antIP: she prioberluy right clicked on the directory and used open with.. and vlc rembereed that. [08:36] Dr_Willis: Can I ask you something? How can I master system level stuff? [08:36] antIP: right clicking a folder doesn't work either?? [08:36] antIP: killall nautilus then 'nautilus' [08:37] Dr_Willis: Yeah, that's what I figured, but she claims she didn't. Either way, how can I fix it? [08:37] Dr_Willis: oh, thanks. [08:37] dynemo: read, read, read.. any books you find.. any articals you find.. hit the bargin bins at teh bookstores for admin and other type books.. [08:37] so much for "mime types" and other hype [08:37] antIP: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936044 [08:37] Dr_Willis: Hm. Do you know python by the way? [08:37] dynemo: i rarely use python. [08:38] Dr_Willis: Ah. What do you code in? [08:38] I rarely code more then a few bash scripts, or a few perl things [08:38] Dr_Willis: Why not? Don't you enjoy it? [08:39] antIP: you shoudl be able to set folders to defauklt to opening with natilus, or i think the new version of 'ubuntu-tweak' has a nice gui way to reset all the gnome settings back to defaults [08:39] dynemo: if you dont have a need... why should i? [08:39] st__: Thanks, got me on the direction.. I noticed that smbfs wasn't installed. I did that and changed the fstab to use the IP address rather than the resolved hostname and it works that way... it's a start, and with static IPs set, I suppose it should work just fine [08:40] dynemo: I code what i need to do.. to get done what i need to do. [08:40] Dr_Willis: the world doesn't need books and paintings either, does it? [08:40] dynemo: you just stated that you needed books to learn to code.. so aparenatly YOU need books. [08:40] I got a large enough collection of books that i havent needed to buy any in some time. [08:41] Dr_Willis: No what I meant was books like Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain or gabriel gracia marquez [08:41] I got a collectionof scripts ive made over teh years that do all i need. [08:41] dpac: Here's the problem with those instructions. They say to right click in Nautilus and select Properties, and then click on the "open with..." tab. But there is no "open with..." tab in properties in nautilus. [08:41] Dr_Willis: Well there's you're problem. If all you use is shell and perl it's no wonder you never code for fun ;) [08:41] ElPasmo you here? [08:41] Welcome back slooksterpsv I'm still following the guide you gave me [08:41] whats the link to that again - ElPasmo - and how far are you? [08:41] Jordan_U: the most compelx coding i did this year was making a nautilus script to let me right click on an AVI -> and convert it to .3gpp :) [08:41] Dr_Willis: what I meant was getting back that old joy of making something that works. Why don't you make something beautiful? Art? [08:42] slooksterpsv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound and I'm rebooting right now for compiling OSS4 from source https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound#Building%20from%20Source [08:42] dynemo: i have my collection of Icons i play with. [08:42] ElPasmo, why from source? [08:42] antIP: Just right click a folder and you'll see open with application. Click that. [08:42] Dr_Willis: I'm in ubuntu-tweak. How would I ga about reseting all the the gnome settings backs to defaults? [08:42] ElPasmo, lol they had debs instead of compiling from source =P [08:42] does anybody know how to find the new installed applications? [08:42] antIP: look in its features.. I saw somthing about resetting them in there === steve__ is now known as subied [08:43] Dr_Willis: st__: thanks for the help; this is working at the moment: "//192.168.1.**/videos /home/miststlkr/Videos/htpc smbfs username=****,password=**** 0 0 " [08:43] slooksterpsv: dunno, ok, i'll try the debs [08:43] ElPasmo - 32-bit or 64-bit? and we'll need to go into terminal to install the deb [08:43] antIP: theres a filetype manager feature also. i notice. (rarely used that) [08:43] antIP: You'll see 'File Browser ' in the list of application you can open the folder with. Select that, click on remember this application [08:43] slooksterpsv: 32 [08:44] slooksterpsv: But I have to reboot I think [08:44] dpac: Yes, that makes sense, but I can't find nautilus in the list of apps to open with. Another issue is that that will only change the open with settings for directories. How will I go about changing the open with settints for media? [08:44] ElPasmo - you will before we can install OSS [08:44] Dr_Willis: What do you mean by that? [08:44] slooksterpsv: I have the deb ready: oss-linux-4.2-2003_i386 So, now I'll reboot, won't I? [08:44] antIP: You mean all the files open with VLC, even the documents? [08:44] antIP: under Filetype manager - my 'folder' is set to use 'open folder' [08:45] ElPasmo - yeah, then we'll install the deb, reboot again and test [08:45] Dr_Willis: I'm sorry, Ubuntu tweak doesn't seem to handle File Types like directories or media, it only seems to handle Audio, Test, Images, Video, and Applications. [08:46] dpac: Only directories and Media open in VLC [08:46] antIP: you may need a newer verison of Ubuntu-tweak [08:46] Dr_Willis: In installed this version like 4 days ago. [08:46] Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.6 [08:46] Hi slooksterpsv, I'm installing right now the deb [08:46] ElPasmo yay! =D [08:46] antIP: theres the stable and 'testing' versions [08:47] antIP: Do the same for media. [08:47] antIP: mine definatly has a feature to reset the gnome settings.. and a filetype manager === pins is now known as pinpoint [08:47] Dr_Willis: If I open Nautilus through the terminal the GUI works fine - everything opens as it should. BUT, if I go to the start menu > places > media, or directory it opens with VLC [08:47] filetype manager -> all -> folder. -----> open folder [08:48] antIP: yes.. sounds like the 'folder' default app is set to 'vlc' not 'open folder' [08:48] It's installed, should I proceed with the "Configuring Applications to Use OSS" section or should I test it before slooksterpsv ? [08:48] antIP: i can also 'shift right click on a folder' -> open with -> from the list. select 'open folder' [08:49] Dr_Willis I installed whatever was in the Synaptic Package Manager. [08:49] ElPasmo - test first [08:49] Dr_Willis: I don't have a "folder" option in Ubuntu Tweak under File Type Manager. [08:50] Sound recorder failed... the error tell me that maybe I lack required plugins (I'm translating from spanish) [08:50] slooksterpsv: Sound recorder failed... the error tell me that maybe I lack required plugins (I'm translating from spanish) [08:50] !openvpn [08:50] OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! [08:50] antIP: then either try the other way i just mentined.. or explore ubuntu tweak some more. Its definatly in there. [08:50] antIP: but your versiion may be old compared to mine [08:50] ElPasmo - ok lets try to configure the applications section now [08:51] Dr_Willis: I'm sorry, I found Folder it was under the "Everything" option. [08:51] how do i return to a precess from the command line using precess id number? [08:51] ειναι κανεις ελληνας εδω? [08:51] antIP: thats why i mentioned the 'all' thing earlier. :) [08:51] filetype manager -> all -> folder. -----> open folder [08:51] grigoriades: english pls :] [08:52] Dr_Willis: Oh, I'm sorry. The channel is moving to fast, and I've got both of you guys talking with me so I missed it. [08:52] ok sorry [08:52] !greek | grigoriades [08:52] grigoriades: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [08:52] Dr_Willis: It looks like Mount Point is also set to VLC [08:52] slooksterpsv: When I try gstreamer-properties the test button doesn't do ·"$%"·% :( [08:53] antIP: its open folder here... also :) [08:53] ElPasmo - ok lets revert back, here's an easier guide [08:53] ElPasmo: down at the bottom: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-oss4-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-for-better-sound-quality.html [08:53] antIP: you can sort by 'asscited application' and see what all vlc is set to... [08:53] slooksterpsv: I'm on it, and by the way, thanks a lot :) [08:53] Dr_Willis: What is strange is that when I clicked on "Edit" to edit what Mount Point is associated with it was set to Folder, not VLC. I had to set it to VLC and then set it back again before it would take. [08:54] ElPasmo - you're welcome... hmmmm [08:54] vlc is set to be the default for 'avi' and 'wmv' here. thats all [08:55] slooksterpsv: wait, I don't have ~/.asoundrc It was an optional step in the previous guide... maybe that's the problem? [08:55] ElPasmo you create it, but if we're not hearing anything we'll cancel/skip [08:55] Dr_Willis: All of the File Types associated with VLC are NOT acciated with VLC when I hit "Edit". They're all set as "Folder". I have to set them to VLC and then set them back to "Folder" to make them associate with folder. Isn't that strange. This is clearly a bug. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a bug with Ubuntu Tweak. [08:55] slooksterpsv: ok I'll try to create it right now, give me a sec [08:56] Dr_Willis: What is AFP Server, and FTP Server supposed to open with? "Folder"? That's what they were set to. The only two options i have are Folder and VLC [08:57] slooksterpsv: I'll reboot, brb [08:57] antIP: Your system seems messed up. Somehow use this system for 15 days and clean install maverick [08:57] antIP: all set to folder here.. [08:57] antIP: i have a whole 2 items set to vlc.. [08:57] Dr_Willis: All of the other associates seem to be correct.\ === mue__ is now known as mue [08:58] antIP: log out/back in and see if they work.. theres other ways to totally 'reset' the gnome settings also. [08:58] antIP: this Ubuntu-tweak has a 'desktop recovery' option on the left. that seems to have the feature [08:58] !hallo [08:58] dpac: Dr_Willis: Thanks for checking that for me. I want to make sure that they open to the correct application. [08:59] !howdy | seestern [08:59] seestern: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [08:59] .hallo [08:59] antIP: ive had kde and other file managers try to take over the folders also. :) [08:59] Hallo Welt! [08:59] slooksterpsv: no joy, I'm reversing back [08:59] ElPasmo - dang :( [08:59] Dr_Willis: Yeah, Desktop Recover doesn't have a back up yet, so I don't think it would do me any good. Maybe I should do a back up. [08:59] .bl [08:59] .hallo [08:59] Hallo Welt! [08:59] Dr_Willis: It had to have had something to do with what my wife did. [09:00] .hallo [09:00] Hallo Welt! [09:00] seestern: Bringing bots into this channel is a violation of Ubuntu's IRC Guidelines. Please remove it. [09:00] .hallo [09:00] Hallo Welt! [09:00] is there a command that works like Ctrl+Z in the command line? [09:01] AnxiousNut: like undo? [09:01] nope [09:01] antIP: she told folders to open with vlc. :) Ive wanted vlc to do that befor.. so ive done the exact same thing. [09:01] gr8m8, In the command line Ctrl+Z makes the process works in the background, like when adding an '&' at the end of a command [09:02] antIP: the DesktopRecvery feature here.. definatly has a 'backup' feaure. or it can reset back to defaults. or one of your backups [09:02] seestern, remove it now please [09:02] Dr_Willis: I notice that .ISO doesn't have an association option in Ubuntu Tweak. That's what my wife was opening - and ISO. [09:02] antIP: show her how she can drag/drop a file onto the vlc window to play it. :) [09:02] Dr_Willis: Yes, it has a back up feature, but I haven't used it yet. [09:02] AnxiousNut: so you are asking if there is something like & ? [09:02] antIP: then you can use it to reset back to defaults... [09:02] Dr_Willis: Yes, I'll have to do that. Thanks. [09:03] I just toyed with it.. and reset my desktop back to defaults..... Doh.. :) [09:03] gr8m8, & is written before the command gets executed, ctrl+z works while the command is being executed! [09:03] Dr_Willis: I just changed most of the video formats to associate with VLC. [09:04] Hmm.. that 'reset' feature of Ubuntu-tweak is handy. [09:04] .hallo [09:04] seestern, ? [09:04] yay unsupported third-party programs. what could go wrong. [09:04] kick 'em [09:04] seestern, have a support question? [09:05] hi i was wondering if anybody might be able to help with a wireless issue on 10.04...everything works great but wireless recently quit working correctly...it drops connection in a few minute of bootup...this doesn't happen if i use a backup from 3 months ago [09:05] !brainstorm [09:05] Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [09:05] my bot has leave the channel an i don't know that my bot was heer :D [09:05] AnxiousNut: I don't get it - did you answer your own question [09:05] ElPasmo what kind of a computer is it? [09:05] seestern, this is a support channel; do you have a support question? [09:05] rww: reminds me of the time i had computer janitor remove all my kernels.. :) [09:06] Dr_Willis: computer-janitor shouldn't be in the repositories, in my opinion, much less the default installation [09:06] horrible UI [09:06] rww: yep. i agree there. [09:06] rww: i think they fixed that bug at least... [09:07] gr8m8, lol no! What i need is a command that does what Ctrl+Z does, not a key binding! [09:07] AnxiousNut: you want to 'suspend' a gui app thats running some how? [09:07] AnxiousNut: how would you apply it to a running app? - in another tewrminal? [09:07] slooksterpsv: Just finished reversing, I'll reboot now, It's a new computer, just bought it with an intel processor and 4Gb RAM, what information do you exactly need? [09:07] AnxiousNut: how would you apply it to a running app? - in another terminal? [09:08] ElPasmo - make/model (e.g. Dell 1550 or...) [09:08] gr8m8 what? [09:08] Dr_Willis, not a gui, but yea, from the same terminal! [09:08] slooksterpsv: I bought the componentes and build it myself, the motherboard is a gigabit, and the audio it's integrated. [09:08] AnxiousNut, you was already give an answer [09:08] ElPasmo - ok [09:09] fhmdgxs: what what? [09:09] I'll reboot now slooksterpsv, brb [09:09] AnxiousNut: check the job control section of the bash docs perhaps.. ive never needed to suspend program B thats running on a different terminal.. [09:09] st__, no actually i didnt want to say that it isnt what i was searching for! So i thanked you over there anyways! [09:09] gr8m8 u question i can't see full question because i just came in [09:10] * fhmdgxs anyone can tell me a linux network programming irc channel? [09:11] i just installed the "wine" on my pc how can i find it? [09:11] slooksterpsv: I'm here, as I said before, when I first installed ubuntu 10.04 the audio worked, I think it was a kernel update who broke my audio. But I can't be sure [09:11] Dr_Willis, gr8m8, st__: you know, starting the first command in the background and connect to it through pid would be the best answer! Thanks for the help [09:11] grigoriades: via command line, or rgjht click on an .exe and tell it to open with the wine windows loader [09:12] fhmdgxs: there's #networking iirc [09:12] slooksterpsv: In theory, now I'm just where I began. When I open the volume control I don't have any device listed at the Hardware tab. [09:12] ElPasmo, during boot you can revert to the old kernel 2.6.32.21 by hold shift when before grub loads (if the only os) and select the old kernel [09:12] grigoriades gnome-applications-it's in one menuitem [09:12] fhmdgxs: there's ##networking iirc [09:12] Dr_Willis: thank you [09:12] slooksterpsv: should I try now? [09:12] ElPasmo, yeah do you need to use the new kernel atm? [09:13] slooksterpsv: as a matter of fact no, I'll try right now, brb [09:13] !lock [09:13] !fixapt [09:13] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [09:14] hey I have an issue with my mouse, on both systems actually; if I click and hold down the mouse button, it'll actually quit the mouse click, tried multiple mice and same thing, so at random I'll click some items [09:14] hello guys.. [09:14] So is there any way to make Gwibber work with 10.04 or do I have to wait until 10.10? [09:14] sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo [09:14] │ | dpkg --configure -a » [09:14] somebody help..my localhost cant display.. [09:14] ElPasmo - any luck? [09:14] slooksterpsv: I've only one kernel listed in my GRUB menu: 2.6-32-24 (If I remember it well) [09:15] ElPasmo dang it must've removed the old kernel then... [09:15] slooksterpsv: that kernel and the recovery mode... [09:15] any guru's on sound in here? [09:15] slooksterpsv: should I try in a more especific channel? any one pulseaudio related? [09:15] ElPasmo I'm out of ideas [09:16] ElPasmo yeah, I'd open another chat window, and maybe someone here knows something I don't [09:16] slooksterpsv: thanks a lot anyway, you have been very kind :) [09:16] hi, just build nexuiz, from apt source, but game wont start it looks for some data files, i did build-dep nexuiz-data, what's wrong? [09:16] ElPasmo - you're welcome, I'm off to bed [09:16] Gnight All =D [09:16] have a nice night slooksterpsv :) [09:16] juk: you did install the data files? [09:16] juk, nexuiz is in the repos [09:16] ElPasmo - you the same [09:17] Dr_Willis, yes [09:17] bazhang: i got it, build, game wont start :( [09:17] juk: check where the data is installed to.. could be your version is looking in differnt place. or different version #s [09:17] I would think you need to rebuild the data package and isntall it also.. but ive not tried that :) [09:18] juk, why compile when you can install from repos [09:18] guys i'm trying to open mtorrent with "wine" and appears this: (The file '/home/grigoriades/Επιφάνεια εργασίας/utorrent.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.) [09:18] bazhang: my /var isn't big enough [09:19] grigoriades: chmod +x /path/to/file.exe [09:19] or right-click it and set it executable in the Permissions tab [09:19] Hi all, I have problems with my sound in Ubuntu 10.04, when I first installed all worked fine, but after an upgrade my sound system it's not recognized. I've tried to switch to OSS with no joy. Here is some information about my computer: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4e90bd4282b4e210de4b7f227cd970662e62354c [09:19] if i join bugzilla will that give me an affilliaion so i can get a proper cloak? [09:20] Dr_Willis, how do I list files installed by build-dep for nexuiz-data [09:20] Balsaq, ask in their channel? [09:20] grigoriades, chmod it to be executable [09:20] dpkg -l | grep nexuiz [09:20] somebody help me..my localhost on ubuntu not found :( [09:20] nothing [09:20] grigoriades, also chmod it's desktop file to be executable [09:20] bugzilla is part of ubuntu i thought [09:20] Balsaq: nope [09:20] juk: build-dep as far as i know just isntalls the extra things needed to compile the package.. [09:21] Balsaq, its not [09:21] what os do they look for bugs in [09:21] Balsaq: Ubuntu only gives out ubuntu/member/* cloaks, and you need to go through Ubuntu membership for that. and even then, that's offtopic for this channel :) [09:21] What DEB program package provides the Ubuntu Installer? [09:21] Dr_Willis, so why im still in dependency problem? [09:21] Balsaq, /msg alis list *bugzilla* and ask, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support [09:21] bullgard4: The GUI installer? ubiquity [09:21] bullgard4, ubiquity-* series [09:21] ok [09:22] juk: no idea. ive never rebuilt a program that had a data and program packages.. just single apps . [09:22] rww: Yes. -- Thank you. [09:22] st__: Thank you. [09:22] Dr_Willis, neither I did, thanks [09:23] well what is the best place for a non coder to get affiliated w/ ubuntu [09:24] !contribute > Balsaq [09:24] Balsaq, please see my private message [09:24] Dr_Willis, can apt-get not to download in /var ? [09:25] Dr_Willis, I don't have enough space [09:25] juk: You mean apt-get and have the cache be somewhere else? you could make a link from /var/cache/apt -> to point soemwhere else. [09:25] all the black areas of windows have turned transparent. How do I fix this? [09:26] Wow happy that sounds cool [09:26] sounds like a compiz feature that got triggered [09:26] it is awsome, but I want to watch movie [09:27] only compiz features I have turned on are enhanced zoom desktop and trail focus [09:27] happysnappy, uninstall compiz, it's useless and buggy [09:28] i like my emerald :( [09:28] happysnappy: try disabling compuiz and see if it goes away... [09:28] how do I disable it? [09:28] because i know of no OTHER way to get that type of a effect other then via compiz [09:28] alt-f2 -> metacity --replace perhaps.. [09:28] alt f2 metacity --replace [09:28] but i dont use emerald any more.. so that may goof up emerald [09:29] !info fusion-icon [09:29] fusion-icon (source: fusion-icon): tray icon to launch and manage Compiz Fusion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.0-2 (lucid), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB [09:29] !emerald [09:29] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [09:29] happysnappy: i tend to use 'fusion-icon' to toggle it as needed [09:29] my desktop is so horrible now. It went away. [09:29] Dr_Willis, firs i move /var/cache/apt from /var right? [09:30] happysnappy: Try disabling fakeargb aka Color Opacity [09:30] juk: I would mount some new filesystem to a /media/var/ make a /media/var/cache and move the packages to there.. then make a link that points from /var/cache to /media/var/cache [09:30] Dr_Willis, I have never been messing with ubuntu [09:31] juk: then you may want to learn some mopre linux basics befor doing this.. and have backups made. :) [09:31] juk: how muich HD space you goit for / anyway? [09:31] i love messing ubuntu :P in that way i can learn more about it... [09:32] Dr_Willis, 414G [09:32] hey [09:32] my whole /var/ is 2.9gb.. and i got tons of stuff in there... [09:32] i disabled my b43 wireless card by right-clicking the network manager's icon then clicking 'disable wireless'. after i enabled it again, it no longer works: there are no error messages, but the card does not see any wireless networks and cannot connect to a network even when the network is specified by name. [09:32] I send away for free ubuntu stickers today. Currious if I'll get them or not lol [09:32] juk: go to /var/ and do a 'du -hs' and see what yours is.

Ubuntu wont recognise my ethernet card so I cant get online... [09:33] Dr_Willis, 410M [09:33] Leman_Russ, what does lspci say about the chipset [09:33] juk: and your / is how full ? [09:36] Dr_Willis,http://ompldr.org/vNW13Zg [09:37] Cerebr0, from which company? [09:37] Hi, I have done a small project which requires Python, Lucene, Java Ant, Apache, Django to install in a system before running. Now I want to learn how to write a script which can setup the system requirements for this small project? Pls point me to some documents, tutorials or software. [09:39] hariom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages [09:39] Script should be able to fetch required software from ubuntu repository and install it. Many software come with such a facility like ./configure, make make install or ./install etc. [09:40] gdb: looking at that link. Thanks [09:40] hariom: Of course! The basic idea is to create a package that contains no software, but is dependent on the packages you want to install. [09:40] bazhang, it says it is there but is unknown [09:41] Leman_Russ, paste.ubuntu.com with the output please [09:41] OK, I will have to log out and log back in as ubuntu. Thanks [09:42] i requested only 2 CDs from ubuntu but i got all the 4 CDs, thanks alot!! [09:42] - - [09:42] form ? [09:43] geass_, support question? [09:43] https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [09:44] gdb: so meta packages can create a required environment to run the small project. I already have ubuntu on my machine but I don't want to download or apt-get each and every software one by one. One simple script and everything is done. Beside this, there are few packages which are not there in Ubuntu repository I guess. How to auto install them? [09:44] evening pplz [09:45] I don't think pplz is here... [09:46] Dr_Willis, went smooth, mv /var/cache/apt ~/.apt-cahe/; ln -s ~/.apt-cache/apt /var/cache/apt [09:47] Dr_Willis: still no luck for the gdm but anyway have to try meerkat maybe it goes well with intel. [09:48] Dr_Willis, how do you like my desktop? [09:51] scriptwarlock: normal desktop works. but gdm dosent? [09:52] Dr_Willis: literaly wont startx [09:52] Dr_Willis: only root can do. [09:53] scriptwarlock: and root has a low res desktop? or normal res? [09:53] Dr_Willis: normal smooth and clean [09:53] scriptwarlock: that points to a permissions issue.. not a driver issue then [09:53] Hey [09:53] Dr_Willis: i mean the root has smooth reso [09:54] scriptwarlock: and whats the erorrs that a user gets when they do 'startx' ? [09:54] By default the networking on my ubuntu install is disabled when I login, any way to make them automatically be enabled when I login (Networking and Wireless) [09:54] ? [09:54] Dr_Willis: it just flicker [09:54] Wired networking is enabled by default here when i login... [09:55] as for wireless.. once i connect the first time. it asks for a keyring passwod (that i can leave blank) and it will auto-reconnect to my wireless also once i login. [09:55] scriptwarlock: there should be some error messages in the console. [09:55] which packages i have to install to support new formats to compress and extract for File-roller ? But i do not want to install any program with GUI or command-line or something, i just want to support new formats (all archive formats if possible) with file-roller. (Ubuntu 10.04) [09:55] Dr_Willis: Every time I login I have to enable wireless, sometimes also normal networking [09:55] Dr_Willis: and then low graphics... lemme see the xlogs of some user account [09:55] Dr_Willis: Dunno if that's because I [09:55] Dr_Willis: 'm on a laptop [09:55] ceme_zer: most archive tools for linux dont have a gui. they are backends to the various 'front ends' like filerioller. [09:56] ceme_zer: install the binaries for the formats you want, rar, 7zip, zip, what otheres might you need? [09:56] !zip [09:56] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [09:56] hello [09:57] Dr_Willis: 7zip is format or the app ? i mean 7z is format ? so which one i have to install ? [09:57] does anybody know how to apply subtitles on a movie? [09:57] ceme_zer: look in the package manager. theres several 7zip related packages [09:57] in vlc? [09:57] ceme_zer: some add more features to 7zip [09:57] !7zip [09:57] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [09:58] grigoriades, in vlc?

[10:02] Dr_Willis: dont know where to dig that errors but it says gdmfactory and or battery state --- then nothing happens [10:02] hi, after waiting for a few minutes, ubuntu locks itself and asks for password to unlock. how can i increase time required for this window/action OR unset the behavior altogether? [10:02] carlo : thank you for your recommentation [10:02] grigoriades: the .srt file needs to be in the same folder as the movie and you need to start the movie player after you have the .srt file there [10:02] np [10:02] kolistivra, screensaver settings iirc [10:03] i did it exactly like that [10:03] bazhang:thanks [10:03] In Lucid, Alsa as a few audio devices listed. One of which is audio over HDMI. How do i make all apps use this device by default? [10:03] So having custom wireless drivers could that cause wireless not to start automatically [10:04] grigoriades: did you check the .srt file to see if it has a diff time stamp per line ? [10:05] Dr_Willis: ah i saw the error got it on pastebin [10:05] gr8m8 : yes i did it.. but nothing. I will try vlc player now and if it works i will let you know [10:05] thanks for the help [10:06] grigoriades: I prefer vlc too [10:06] how can i make one work on my pc [10:06] pjstout: one what pls?

[10:09] I'm not shure if it is from debian, but tinycore is great (10 mb) [10:09] !minimal | sunny_ [10:09] sunny_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:09] i dont want live [10:09] Tinycore is not Debian based. :) its about as small as ive seen however. [10:09] sunny_, for debian try #debian [10:09] sunny_: tinycore can be installed to hd.. [10:09] but at least installable [10:09] sunny_: most disrtos can be installed to hd. [10:10] sunny_, this is ubuntu support not debian [10:10] tinycore! :D [10:10] sunny_: so we are back to 'what' you want the disrto to do. theres several minimal ubuntu options out. [10:10] tinycore is useless, however [10:10] bazhang:isn't it same [10:10] sunny_, no of course not [10:11] its almost based on that so wht is the difference [10:11] !debian [10:11] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [10:11] tinycore is very usefull for the teasks its designed for however.. [10:11] sunny_, it is the same, ubuntu just steals debian sid packages and put it some custom wallpapers [10:11] sunny_, its offtopic here, thats the difference [10:11] st__, wrong [10:11] Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/500212/ [10:12] st__: that's more than uncharitable [10:12] sorry guys..Thanks Dr_wills [10:12] gr8m8: and basically becomming Trollish [10:12] yep [10:12] bazhang, then why if I patch something in Ubuntu it's getting shoved upstream and left for rot? [10:12] sunny_: If you tell us what you need to do.. we may be able to suggest a ubuntu answer. [10:12] st__, dont comment if you have nothing useful to say [10:13] i want a minimal cd which atleast install GUI nd basic apps [10:13] and of course it should be related to *buntu [10:13] sunny_, alternate installer then [10:13] or minimal with lubuntu-core [10:13] sunny_: you could always do a server install , and install what you want. or use some of the remaster tools/features to set up yur own. [10:14] sunny_: and the whole point of going 'minimal' is to acomplish what exactly? [10:14] Thanks guys ...i will go for lubuntu [10:14] less disk space and fast enough [10:14] sunny_: you have an old system or somthing? [10:14] hi, where should i set a varable? [10:14] sunny_, beware however that lubuntu misses most tools for even basic tasks [10:15] old laptop [10:15] envornment varable [10:15] st_that is simply not so. [10:15] AntonioBlob: in .bashrc normally [10:15] st__, does it miss drivers?? [10:15] AntonioBlob: what variavble are you refering to? [10:15] sunny_, no, I mean GUI configuring tools [10:15] st__, please stop spreading misinformation [10:16] sunny_: kernel and drivers should be the same for mosta ll ubuntu variants [10:16] it's a long directory [10:16] AntonioBlob: Huh? [10:16] dr_wills..yeah it should be same for all derivatives [10:16] export foo='/some/long/path' [10:17] Dr_Willis yes, but i need to add permanently [10:17] AntonioBlob: user specific? system wide? see .bashrc or the /etc/profile or related dirs. [10:18] what's the offtopic ubuntu channel again? [10:18] i read here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables, is suggested to put into /etc/envoronment [10:18] erdnase: #ubuntu-offtopic [10:18] erdnase, #ubuntu-offtopic [10:18] I need to use glib 2.11 on 9.1, can i get deb package somewhere? [10:18] AntonioBlob: check teh file then and see if its there.. that would be system wide i imagine. which may or may not be what you want [10:18] Thanks rww, bazhang, I.. tend to forget things. === trijntje is now known as trijntje_away [10:19] I am getting this error: [10:19] bin/snowglobe-do-not-run-directly: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by bin/snowglobe-do-not-run-directly) [10:19] AntonioBlob: that seems to be where the default path is set.

(i assume it does) [12:44] Taggnostr: or the video card supports it too [12:44] 1680x1050 is the native resolution of the other monitor and it used to work with this setup on windows (but on a different (and I think older) video card) [12:45] all my window frames are gone, can't click maximize, minimize etc. - i have to close applications by pressing File>Exit or something similiar. Also my pointer has turned into a giant black X. can anyone help me? [12:45] Dr_Willis: yeah bricscad is good...almost like autocad :) [12:45] Taggnostr: if you can run it as the only display at resolution through VGA, then it is probably OK [12:46] Dr_Willis: works well with ubuntu :) [12:46] thune3, I could try that [12:46] (if I find how) [12:47] pp__ does it go away after a restart [12:47] ? [12:47] sabgenton nope [12:47] How can I share my wireless connection on the laptop with my mobile phone guys? [12:47] sabgenton, it actually began after a restart [12:48] oh dear [12:48] I have issues installing kubuntu 10.10. with both the beta and the daily build as of today the ubiquity installer kde_ui doesn't start at all [12:48] also running ubiquity kde_ui doesn't throw out any error messages [12:48] Taggnostr: it would be an odd situation with older hardware that this might be a problem. It's unlikely the issue. (probably not worth spending more than a few minutes on checking) [12:48] is this a known issues and if so, how to resolve it? [12:49] pp__: do any particulary special before that restart? [12:49] thune3, I disabled the first monitor and now I'm trying to change the resolution with krandrtray but it shows crazy resolutions and I'm not sure it's trying to set them on the right screen [12:49] install/uninstall anything? [12:49] Taggnostr: did you restart X [12:50] anything* [12:50] thune3, when I disabled the first screen from the nvidia control panel it didn't ask to restart [12:51] now I'm from the second screen with 1024x768, but the available resolution are 1024x768, 1920x1200 and other higher resolutions [12:51] Hi guys, since upgrading to 10.04 (Like last time) after a while my wifi drops and keeps asking for a password to connect. The only way to get it back on is a reboot [12:51] sabgenton, i had just installed mono and then i got some problem with monodoc-browser or something when trying to update via update-manager. so i tried restarting and i got this shit. then i apt-get removed that monodoc-whatever and carried on with the update. update worked like a charm and i restarted again but i still have this crap [12:52] to me it SEEMS temperature related? Because on a cold boot it lasts a lot longer, and if I simply reboot after it has gone off it doesn't last very long. But it has always worked great on 9.10 [12:52] thune3, do you suggest to edit xorg.conf manually with 1680x1050 and try to restart X? [12:53] hey my ati drivers seem to be messing up, any tips on how to clean them up and get the is workinging again [12:53] The kernel.log is filled with stuff like Sep 24 13:30:27 martin kernel: [ 83.364955] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration timeout (2472MHz) and Sep 24 13:30:28 martin kernel: [ 83.815897] ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2412MHz) [12:53] Taggnostr: for this test, probably moving xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old and restarting X or rebooting. [12:54] thune3, otherwise I'll just use the second monitor for windows and keep the first monitor for linux [12:54] hello [12:55] i want 32 bit color on my rdesctop session how do i set it?

[13:12] andycc, Dr_Willis, neither command does anything at all [13:12] Dr_Willis: I'm thinking of substituting in xmonad [13:12] iceman_: exit should keep metacity running, and not stop it when you 'exit' the terminal.

[13:27] enetic: sorry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [13:27] jrib, i use command :reg, and find no * register [13:27] Further question, I'm new at using IRC, how do I highlight?

[13:28] iceman_: metacity & disown see if stays when you log back in [13:29] iceman_: I imagine you are set to use compiz by default. Try installing the 'fusion-icon' program and run it. and use that to select 'metacity' [13:29] jrib, my vim have no * register, [13:29] jrib when you say metcaity & disown, is that a command? including the "&"? im an utter noob, you have to be more concise [13:29] thanks..

[13:37] dr0id: install/run the ntfs-config tool. it should let you add proper fstab entries for them. But they 'should' show up under the Places -> computer -> location [13:37] obengdako: you can't highlight your own messages. [13:37] obengdako: not in all clients.

[13:41] beginner: I think you're better off asking for Ekiga support somewhere else. [13:41] beginner: look at http://ekiga.org/community. [13:42] andycc: < just before there was a soundcard VIA something, now only dummy output > [13:42] I wonder how much differance is in vim.gtk and vim.gnome [13:42] I remember i have download the full package.

[13:42] andycc: i'm looking for a nice voip clien for ubuntu. any suggestion? > [13:43] cjjnjust: vim-tiny is the tiny version [13:43] cjjnjust: vim-basic seems to be the 'full' version. but its possible theres some vim-uber-enhanced out there.. buit ive never seen it [13:43] Hey guy, I have a question.

[13:44] MadCowzGaming, plugin the mic , then run lsusb in the terminal , to see if it's listed [13:44] beginner: seriously though, why do you need voip? With who do you want to talk on voip? I suggest you use Pidgin with a Jabber/Yahoo account for chatting. [13:44] andycc: < ok. thanks anyway.> [13:45] Thanks, I will try that and get back to you. [13:45] Somelauw: works the same except there are two of them (one accessed by highlighting and middleclicking) [13:45] Somelauw: theres 2 of them. a selection 'buffer' that you can select and middle click. then theres the windows-like select/copy/paste type buffer [13:45] Somelauw: the clipboard managers can even sync the 2 if you wanted to [13:45] BluesKaj, Yes it is listed.

To give some additional insight. I have sshfs that mounts a remote folder. I then download bittorrents to that remote folder. That's when it starts using up all the memory quiet quickly [15:29] Hi guys. I have a file that I can't write to. I try `ls -l` shows this file with question marks for its owner, group, and permissions. Any attempt to `sudo chown` `sudo chmod` or `sudo rm` the file results in "Input/output error". Every other file on this drive works fine. Any suggestions? [15:30] judgepg: as i said it filesystem caching. sshfs as fuse filesystem ( in userspace) may use more memory [15:30] linelevel: have you fsck?

[15:34] jrib: I'm sure there is sublime joy to be found in understanding the distinction between "created by" and "responsible for". However, I just want to know if there's anything I can uninstall to get rid of it, or if I should just delete it. [15:34] judgepg: maybe you should switch to nfs or samba ?

[15:40] BluesKaj, Sorry to bother you again, I mistakingly downloaded the wrong driver... I now have the correct driver but it is telling me "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-24-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro" Any Ideas?

[15:42] jrib, I don't have a copy of windows to run the windows chkdisk [15:43] linelevel: why even both with ntfs then [15:43] jrib, I used to dual boot, but i overwrote that patition months ago [15:43] i've looked into umask, but it doesn't seem to keep the mask over more than a day or so, is that how it's designed to work? [15:43] idk, i ran a code in teminal so now i am back on w/e came on the disk [15:43] partition [15:43] damiankw: something else probably changes the umask?

[15:44] MadCowzGaming, what commands did you run , sudo aptitude remocve saiddriver ? [15:44] it's a downloader, grabs files from a website when available and dumps them into this directory [15:44] err remove [15:45] BluesKaj, cd /usr/share/ati [15:45] sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh [15:45] How to show special caracters like : œ in smplayer ?

[15:46] elijah: apt-get clean [15:46] something clean? [15:46] jrib: thx [15:47] MadCowzGaming, ok install the correct driver , but you must remove the old ati driver first [15:47] BluesKaj, How? [15:47] jrib, unless i run another process to check for new additions to the directory, there's no way to track which files come down (with the method i'm using) [15:47] sometimes it can grab a few hundred files at a time also [15:47] damiankw: What are you trying to do ? [15:47] damiankw: #bash can probably help you come up with a better solution [15:47] jrib: would you know how i can increase the colors in plymnouth from the default 4 colors [15:47] elijah: I think you may need to use sudo apt-get clean [15:48] saji89: Yeah, that was it!

[15:49] grigoriades: sudo is like "simon says" for the computer..tells it to do something as admin. apt-get is the program that installs, removes, upgrades, etc. packages [15:49] how would you install wxpython on python2.7? [15:49] If there are any devs in here - Journaled HFS+ Write support would be nice to have by default in 10.10 [15:49] damiankw: So why cant you use the mask in there [15:49] OneMillionDollar: I don't have problems. [15:49] it seems like ubuntu is not as good as windows when it comes to media playing [15:49] #ubuntu+1 [15:49] elijah: wayyyyyyyyyyy too late to ask for that now, 2 weeks before release [15:49] maco: thank you maco [15:49] hi, I was just wondering if plymouth will ever work with nvidia proprietary drivers, with Maverick Beta is still impossible to have a decent splash screen [15:49] sometime when listen to internet radio the player will hang [15:50] elijah: does such support exist in linux but is simply not included by default? if so, send an email to ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com [15:50] http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6117/img2705i.jpg helpppppp [15:50] elijah: The channel to talk of meerkat is #ubuntu+1 [15:50] elijah: you can at least raise the topic for 11.04 [15:50] maco: Well, suposedly it was fixed a while ago but it doesn't work, and that is why I am asking now, since it is only 2 weeks before release. There is still time! === Guest72507 is now known as linelevel [15:50] jrib, windows chkdisk solved it :) [15:50] elijah: bug number? [15:50] hello :) I've found an old Acer Travelmate 530 and want to give it to my mom, so she can learn how to use the internet. But I can't get the 10.04.01 livecd to boot. Can someone help me out with this? [15:50] MadCowzGaming, when you installed the ati driver , there should have been a readme file in the folder that was generated , there should be instructions in the readme file how to uninstall/remove the .run driver [15:51] OneMillionDollar: Do you have the ubuntu restricted package for the codecs? [15:51] !lubuntu [15:51] Neo-Claw: depend how old is it, maybe lubuntu will fit [15:51] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [15:51] BluesKaj, Ok i will see if i cant find it [15:51] Xeross, how do you mean use the mask? [15:51] maco: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5878/ [15:51] damiankw: Hmm one second I'm not familiar with the masks [15:51] elijah: but no bug report about it being broken? if there's no bug report, it's not on anyone's radar... [15:52] ooh, I'll take a look at it :) the laptop is pretty old.. it's with 512mb ram, dvd-r and floppy drive [15:52] Neo-Claw, how old is the travelmate ? [15:52] erUSUL: seems like the dell 1505 works a lot better to be honest... [15:52] damiankw: Yeah using the umask would be tricky, so you'd basically need something that chmods the file when it gets created right ? [15:52] maco: This was my first step before a bug report :) [15:52] at least with my laptop anywas [15:52] maco: Where do I make a bug report again? [15:53] When you open an ftp connection with Nautilus, can you edit and save files on a remove server as if they're local? [15:53] yeah, Xeross .. but this would have to be a completely different process to what i'm using currently [15:53] heya anyone knows how to set a width for conky? i tried setting maximum_width although it didn't seem to have any effect [15:53] elijah: brainstorm fuels some of the discussion at UDS, but all UDS decisions become blueprints eventually when they're being implemented to track progress. thats more for features though. bugs are reported in bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [15:53] damiankw: Hmm, well there's a python package that can monitor a filesystem, and then you can just write a function that chmods [15:54] what is conky? [15:54] damiankw: So I guess you could run that script as root and let it chmod everything, that's how I would do it [15:54] i have this for my config.. http://pastebin.com/5CTfHJVs [15:54] elijah: i think youd want: ubuntu-bug hfsplus [15:54] mm, i'm trying not to venture into another language to solve the issues - the system at the moment is built on php [15:54] i need help, how do you install wxpython on python2.7? [15:54] damiankw: Another option is looping over the directory checking for differences every X seconds, but that's less efficient [15:55] Neo-Claw, the live-cd doesn't recognize HW much over 4-5 yrs old, try the alternate-install cd instead , it has better HW recognition and options [15:55] yeah i know, especially when the directory size is ~300gb worth of ~10mb files [15:55] sweet :) [15:55] thanks BluesKaj === saji89 is now known as opensorcerer [15:55] maco: I am at the site but not following what you mean by ubuntu-bug hfsplus? [15:55] damiankw: So how do the users edit these files ? [15:55] elijah: to file a bug including all info about the package, you can run the "ubuntu-bug hfsplus" command [15:56] damiankw: Or create them [15:56] a cron script downloads the files from a website every night, the users access the files through nfs === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [15:57] damiankw: And the cron script cant chmod them appropriatly ? [15:57] it COULD, but it wouldn't be very efficient [15:57] damiankw: Why not, it would only chmod the ones it writes, and it only chmods them when needed [15:57] maco: Wow, that is pretty sweet! Okay, so I see the idea as being implemented in April 10' so that means it was not in 10.04 and should be in 10.10 right? So if that is correct then I should boot into 10.10 and do the bug report from there? [15:58] to give you a better understanding, the cron grabs an RSS feed, then wget -r's entire folders - so there's no set amount of time it will take for that folder to dwonload [15:58] elijah: yep [15:58] so within a few seconds the cron script starts / stops and sets wget to download [15:58] maco: Thanks for your guidance! [15:58] so the script would have to check if wget is still running, THEN modify accordingly [15:58] Hi [15:58] that's why i'm after something like umask that actually works :P [15:59] as like i said before, umask works perfect and does exactly what i want .. however it only works for a few hours and then it doesn't [15:59] BluesKaj, Ok, It is completly uninstall using info from ATI website. When i try to run the file i get "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and on the ubuntu site it says "XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4" Does 10.04 support these drivers? [15:59] In 10.4 when I do ctrl-alt-left, it properly switches me between desktops, but it won't wrap from desktop1 to desktop4. It always used to. Is there a way to change that back? [15:59] snlemons: you need to have desktop effects enabled to wrap [15:59] damiankw: From waht I understand the umask gets set on a process, so if we set the umask of the wget that should work right ? === JonathanD is now known as Guest3407 [16:00] maco: By which you mean System->Prefs->Appearance->Visual Effects, or something else? [16:00] MadCowzGaming, check that your archecture is the same as the driver 64 or 32 bit [16:00] snlemons: exactly [16:00] oh, iv'e been setting umask to dir - it could be synchonising to the login i'm using and if that gets disconnceted it stops? [16:01] maco: I have them on Normal. Do I actually have to switch to Extra just to be able to loop between my desktops? === Guest3407 is now known as JonathanD [16:01] snlemons: hmm no normal should be enough. "none" definitely wouldnt be though (because metacity doesn't wrap and compiz does) [16:01] damiankw: According to the wiki page the umask is lost when the process terminates/the user logs out [16:02] ohhhh, i've been using it wrong. i get how it works now [16:02] BluesKaj, Oh i see, The guys over at ATI got the links backwards. 32-bit links to 64 and 64-bit links to 32. [16:02] damiankw: Just out of curiosity how are you using it ? [16:02] maco: Weird. Did metacity wrap in the past? I feel like I was able to wrap before compiz even existed. [16:02] i was setting it in a directory from my user, testing .. worked. then when the cron came along .. it didn't :P [16:02] snlemons: lack of wrapping in metacity was one reason i switched to compiz in 2006... [16:03] MadCowzGaming, you running 64 bit ubuntu ? [16:03] if i set the umask under the user running the cron, it SHOULD pick up that envariable for the cron, correct? [16:03] hi [16:03] damiankw: Well the cron is a bash script or ? [16:03] BluesKaj, No the guys over at AMD messed up on there site lol [16:04] i have a problem with my 3g usb modem on my kubuntu 10.04 [16:04] it's a php script [16:04] can anybody help me? [16:04] maco: Huh. Maybe I'm remembering when I was on something KDE-based or something. [16:04] damiankw: And the PHP script calls wget ? [16:04] Is there not a place where I can select the specific effects I want or change settings for my virtual desktops any more? [16:04] snlemons: compizconfig-settings-manager needs to be installed for that [16:04] Xeross, that's right [16:05] damiankw: So you're using the system() call to run the wget [16:06] think somebody can help me set up my 802.11bgn card? [16:06] actually, i can't even remember this shizzle it's been so long, gimme 2secs [16:06] Milkehh: lspci [16:06] anyone on ubuntu playing games? [16:06] Milkehh: Tell us which card you have... [16:06] maco: Excellent. Easy enough. Does it also allow me to change settings about my virtual desktops, or only address the compiz part of the question? [16:06] brittany: it doesn't feel like showing up [16:06] damiankw: Ok, you would just add a call to the umask before calling wget, I'd say try if that works [16:06] juk: Well I am trying to :P [16:06] Milkehh: We can't help you then. [16:06] brittany: but according to my laptop, I have an 'Acer Nplify' [16:06] snlemons: compiz handles virtual desktops when you have effects enabled. it's a full window manager [16:07] I need help with a wireless card too. Its RTL8188CE and i cant get it wot work with ubuntu [16:07] yeah, that should be easy enough. cron runs php script; php script system()'s a bash script, bash script runs wget [16:07] :P [16:07] brittany: does acer nplify narrow it down enough? [16:07] Milkehh: Open a terminal and type lspci and look for it in the output. [16:07] maco: Excellent. Thanks. [16:07] Xeross:it's people are installing mail servers, apaches, no one playing it seems to me [16:07] hi [16:07] anyone know if the dell 1018 has a functionally wifi? [16:08] what should i do to see the current cpu temperature on my laptop? [16:08] Milkehh: do you know how to open a terminal window? [16:08] damiankw: If you already have a bash script yes add it to that, if not just try adding another system() call above the wget [16:08] brittany: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01) 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4357 (rev 01) [16:08] how can I shutdown my server 4 hours from now? 23:05:58 SGT 2010 thanks [16:08] but I think that's the ethernet adapter?

Because they will not install, keep getting "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" [16:14] elijah: Yeah and I don't know if you run aptitude but it also has a clean function (Might clean the same thing though) [16:14] maco: Do you know what it is I may miss from the .local/.cache folders? [16:14] Xeross: screens look cool!!! [16:14] brittany: lspci |grep wireless comes up with nothing [16:14] i can access wifi with smart filter, it blocks IRC/MSN/Torrent , how can i make it allow them? [16:14] Xeross: the usual way, through the shutdown button [16:14] sash_: ping [16:15] ycommand line doesn't seem to work either [16:15] JackTheRipper: Hmm seems like something is wrong when it reboots then, thought you might've been using the wrong command line, guess not [16:15] Xeross: gl117 is a bit oldfashined [16:16] How I can certificate my website to avoid be identified as a spam website by the e-mail providers like Hotmail? [16:16] elijah: some applications put stuff in there. you can look inside and see whats there. for example, i think gwibber puts icons in there [16:16] was my Question above clear? or it was not? , thanks. [16:16] bguevara: openssl gen cifr [16:16] Xeross: apparently I'm not the only one with the problem. lost of people from the forums seem to be having this issue as well. some think it's a BIOS issue but i'm not so sure [16:17] juk: They used to have a linux installer but they dropped it for some reason, still works through wine though (Well it should) [16:17] I'm connecting via a VPN, how can I explore the network? [16:17] JackTheRipper: and "shutdown -h now" > [16:17] JackTheRipper Just the stuff inbetween the quotes the > is a typo [16:17] elijah: if you use ubuntu one or tomboy, probably shouldnt delete ~/.cache [16:17] i can access a wifi network but with smart filter on it,the problem is it blocks IRC/MSN/Torrent , how can i access IRC through it ? [16:17] maco: I am manually looking through thsi stuff now [16:17] elijah: k [16:18] What is Akonadi? [16:18] Xeross: doesn't seem to work either. isn't there a way to make it it function as it normally would? it was working fine before.... [16:18] JackTheRipper: If even shutdown -h now isn't working then something is seriously wrong, if it was working the GUI could have just been borked [16:19] I am used to being able to right click on a drive (mac.win) and getting info/properties. How would I do this in Dolphin? On the left hand column it doesn' [16:19] t give me properties [16:19] Milkehh: This is a laptop? [16:19] brittany: yep [16:19] español [16:19] juk: But what about if my website not have to use https? [16:19] Hey, maco, I seem to be able to change all these ways the virtual desktops get switched, but can I change the names like I used to be able to? [16:19] bguevara: irrelevant [16:19] Hello. I wish to turn my ubuntu laptop to a web server, although I don't know even abcd of servers. :( I simply wish to get a guide, such that I can make webpages which others can access over INternet, when I run my server. [16:19] snlemons: i dont remember [16:20] Any guide for that? [16:20] Xeross: so what should i do? [16:20] !lamp > rocket16 [16:20] rocket16, please see my private message [16:20] I can go to media/ and get properties from those but root is not listed there. [16:20] What's the best way to install only one or a few package(s) from a PPA? [16:20] That is, even if it contains a newer version of a stock package, I don't want it; only this one specific package. [16:20] JackTheRipper: Hmm, I don't really know if a lot of people have this problem file a bug report and hope they fix it :/ [16:20] Thanks bazhang. Will installing LAMP do everything? [16:21] The only way I know to get disk usage stats is by using a system utility widget on the desktop and show disks [16:21] juk: Please, be more descriptive, Do you mean that I need to send the emails using ssl? [16:21] elijah: Command line df -h [16:21] could anyone point where to look for help with a wine issue? [16:21] juk: Thanks for that shooter, downloading it :) [16:21] can you get adobe air for 64 bit? [16:22] Xeross: a bug report has already been filed by others with the same problem. no one seems to know how to fix this [16:22] Xeross: Awesome! thx [16:22] elijah: np :) [16:22] bguevara: you sign it, send with your mailer [16:23] hi [16:23] does anybody here use proftpd? [16:23] in which folder are the evolution-mails? [16:23] btw, Xeross/maco is there a way to get the system to not run out of disk space? Last time that happened I had to reinstall and it was too late by the time I realized because updates were being downloaded and I noticed just as it happened. [16:23] does anybody know how to fix wine regsvr32 error? [16:24] elijah: ubuntu should now notify you when you get low [16:24] melchior: did you ask Google? [16:24] Xeross: sure, classic. [16:24] melchior: I think there's a forum thread on that. [16:24] maco: It sort of does but that isn't foolproof :) [16:24] elijah: also, it shouldnt ever *really* run out to the point of reinstall. ext filesystems reserve 5% for root's use so that you can login in recovery mode [16:24] in which folder are the evolution-mails? [16:24] can you get adobe air for 64 bit? [16:24] Milkehh: what is the make and model of your laptop?

[19:02] LordDragon - mine does it sometimes if I have a lot going on, usually you need to update your graphics or if the graphics are set to high effects, change it back tonormal [19:02] win7 64 bits just emulates the 32 bit programs. [19:02] slooksterpsv: well I am trying to teach myself and I am having a little trouble I got basic script making down but I cannot seem to figure out the if/else/fi command [19:02] anyone know of any apache 2.2.16 ports for karmic?

(OpenShot or kdenlive) [19:03] karlo: use the one you like best, there's also kino and pitivi [19:03] wac_ - so how do you want the if script to work, I should ask [19:03] slooksterpsv, they are at the mid setting, the one that ubuntu 10.04 defaults to. and it tears even in a fresh installation when nothing is running. and i am using the proprietary latest drivers for my nvidia card [19:03] if/then/else or something [19:03] haha yea [19:03] NTQ, is there any possibility to do so on an Ubuntu 64 bits? [19:03] DrJuano: a 32 bit program can not use libraries compiled for 64 bit. So you have to install 32 bit libraries on ubuntu to make such programs work. [19:03] PM me who can help me to install phpsysinfo..

[20:48] justine777w: oh, if you look on the page I sent, there's a link to an ubuntu.com help site [20:48] !hi | fubarru [20:48] fubarru: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [20:48] fubarru: Hi. [20:48] I'm having trouble installing some things for the G15 keyboard can anybody help me??? [20:48] justine777w: it's in the paragraph with the links in it [20:48] banished did u see my dmesg?? [20:49] ubuntu: only party [20:49] http://keno.pondi.hr/po.txt [20:49] there is whole text [20:49] my ubuntu install isn't working out very well, I'm getting a "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" error [20:49] Braber01: What problem do you have? [20:49] banished: Install ubuntu from within the shell or load the x [20:49] gnea: right and i clicked on that and it brought me to another site: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libstdc++5 and then when i click on i386 it shows a bunch of links. which one? === Guest51435 is now known as Tricia [20:49] hiexpo: maybe, did you try a previous kernel? [20:49] ubuntu: ah, your hard drive is ok, SQUASHFS error means that your ubuntu image is damaged [20:50] justine777w: aaaaah - that could be one part of the solution, I was referring to the other link. one sec [20:50] moshe: but why busybox then? [20:50] fubarru: Where you saw that message? [20:50] in BIOS [20:50] attempting to boot the USB stick [20:50] nah Gnea fixing to chage to gentoo anyways / > just was wondering [20:50] Because grub lads the kernel and it gets me into this shell [20:50] justine777w: yeah, get i386 [20:50] Every time I try to compile the packages It says I have to install some other things, and where can I find these packages [20:50] :D that one is from ubuntu servers, where can i find one thats working?? or just download again that one and check crc? [20:51] gnea: then after that. do what it says at the end of the paragraph? [20:51] Braber01, ` which package is this? [20:51] moshe: ah, then there is something wrong - are you instaling from the CD? [20:51] !build | Braber01 [20:51] Braber01: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [20:51] not sure [20:51] justine777w: yeah, the libstd++ is just one part of it, then you'll need the actual driver itself [20:51] daniel1: what can I do [20:51] Braber01, well first thing to try is to sudo apt-get build-dep nameofpackage [20:51] okay but which one under north america do i choose? http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libstdc++5/download [20:51] fubarru: Is evident. You don't have the User Interface Manager [20:52] USB which indopied the whole iso into and grubed it [20:52] ubuntu: check the md5 hash, maybe your download was aborted early [20:52] justine777w: whichever one delivers [20:52] Braber01, if it is sourced in the repository it will install the dependencies [20:52] fubarru: Can you tell me the content of that usb? [20:52] i followed the directions exactly as they were on ubuntu.com [20:52] ok :D tnx [20:52] Copied * [20:52] moshe: were there some error messages before it dropped you there? [20:52] After a reboot of lucid, the icon in the top bar got lost. Another reboot didn’t bring it back again. [20:52] Daniel1, banished : http://pastebin.com/tQ2MdQbg [20:52] Any idea why this happened and how to get it back? [20:52] justine777w: they're all good, so they should all work. if one is being slow, cancel and try another [20:52] deviantp: what? [20:52] Braber01, however if it is not....then the read out in the terminal should give you an idea of what dependecies are needed and you can get those via synaptic package manger [20:53] I mean the icon in the top bar to control the volume. ;-) [20:53] gnea: i already had that installed [20:53] Yes something about the root device but when I give it one it z [20:53] justine777w: awesome [20:53] Crashes [20:53] deviantp: can you also paste dmesg? maybe some firmware is missing [20:53] Daniel1, : sorry i thought you asked for the model of card as well [20:53] jeltsch: just add 'Indicators' [20:53] the whole of it? [20:54] never used dmesg bedore [20:54] *before [20:54] dmesg | pastebinit [20:54] xangua: Indicators: isn’t this this envelope? Yes, this got lost too. :-( [20:54] deviantp: just type it into the terminal and copy the output [20:54] fubarru: you must verify your usb content [20:54] !panels | or reset panels jeltsch [20:54] or reset panels jeltsch: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:55] Linux [20:55] banished: there was an error about the root device but when I give him one it just crashes [20:55] xangua: I’ve readded indicators now. Any idea why it got lost? [20:55] deviantp: wait, you say you are lacking n support? The g is working? According to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rt2800pci n is not implemented yet [20:56] Banished like root=/dev/sda1 in grub kernel line [20:56] moshe: you are using an usb stick with the ubuntu 10.04 image? Do you have a rather new mainboard? [20:56] gnea: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible' [20:56] moshe: there will most likely be no linux kernel on sda1 if you have not installed it yet === apensi5_ is now known as apensi5 [20:57] 4 [20:57] Gnea, whats seen command i forgot [20:57] justine777w: I don't understand that... it should be installed [20:57] when autologin is set up, how can I use ~/.xsession to start my own stuff and not default gnome? [20:57] hiexpo: huh? [20:57] on the ubuntu hardware wiki it says 'In 9.10, it works OOB. Inserted card into computer with 9.10 already installed and it connected to Wireless-N network through Network Manager. WPA2 Personal works.' [20:57] the > seen command [20:57] gnea: when i went to printing and tried to set it up thats what i got [20:57] Banished there is a kernel in Casper which is in dev sda1 [20:57] hiexpo: they usually start with !

[20:57] k [20:58] !seen pure_hate [20:58] I have no seen command [20:58] justine777w: okay, I would look at /var/log/cups/ [20:58] cemc: logout and at the gdm screen tell it to use the one entry that uses .xsession (i forget what its called) that should save that as the default in the .dmrc file so its used every time [20:58] cemc: make it .xsession your default before using autologin I guess. Or just logout and then do change your preference [20:58] deviantp: is it an n only network? [20:58] i know its a wiki and there can be mistakes, but still [20:58] Daniel1: it loads fine to the point and then gives me q shell [20:58] no... [20:58] gnea: justine@justine-compaq:~$ /var/log/cups/ [20:58] bash: /var/log/cups/: is a directory [20:58] hi all. how can i edit a bookmark of a remote location in ubuntu? (one i created using Places -> Connect to Server? [20:58] Daniel1: So yeah i qm sure [20:59] justine777w: log files are in that directory. [20:59] banished : b/g/n mixed [20:59] deviantp: then there is probably some firmware missing, at leats g should work [20:59] justine777w: yes, it's a directory where the logfiles for cups are kept, the idea is to look at relevent logfiles there in order to gleam additional information [20:59] dr_willis: what [20:59] can nobody help me [20:59] yeah G works absolutely fine [20:59] There is talk that Ubuntu can damage Mac hardware when it runs on it. Is this true? [20:59] moshe: I told you. It must be your BIOS battery. I had the same problem [20:59] gnea: nothing showed up just what i showed you [20:59] fubarru: me [20:59] aroman: no [20:59] next :) [20:59] justine777w: that's because you didn't use ls. [20:59] fubarru: sorry i'm a little busy. [21:00] k [21:00] freaky[t]: In the side pane of the file maanger, where the 'places' are shown. right click on them [21:00] gnea: so whats the whole code to put in terminal? [21:00] Daniel1: My bios is fine it's a new computer [21:00] xangua, :) Because over at #macosx they are convinced that Ubuntu can't talk to the Mac SMC and therefore can't manage the processor properly causing damage and death.. [21:00] Banished the iso is 10.04 [21:00] justine777w: it's not code, it's a command. ls /var/log/cups/ [21:00] fubarru: just mak your question [21:00] deviantp: well, if g is working and n is not there is nothing you can do but wait for an update that implements the missing feature [21:00] i have [21:00] 3 times [21:00] freaky[t]: but i think that just lets you rename. not change the settings for it [21:00] Dr_Willis, the filemanager thunar doesnt show the bookmarks [21:00] fubarru: where does the error appear? [21:00] I'm getting a "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" error [21:01] in my bios [21:01] trying to boot from the usb stick [21:01] freaky[t]: time to read the thunar docs i guess.. I dont use it. [21:01] !patience | fubarru [21:01] fubarru: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [21:01] fubarru: does it start the ubuntu CD?

[21:01] justine777w: my guess would be error.log [21:01] http://translateclient.com/ [21:01] gnea: what does that mean [21:01] freaky[t]: if you are using gnome and the thunar file maanger, you could run nautilus to change them i guess.. but you cant change the info of the shortcut from what i can tell [21:02] justine777w: it's a file you should look at the contents of. like this: less error.log [21:02] no i'm wrong sorry [21:02] the linux image is on a flash drive [21:02] What to doe if a laptop randomly shutdowns without any reason? [21:02] and while trying to boot from the flash drive [21:02] Daniel1: did a check already I am just missing the params of the cd probably [21:02] i get a syslinux error [21:02] Dr_Willis, i want to be able to change everything of the bookmark [21:02] freaky[t]: oh wait.. run nautilus, and do the 'edit bookmarks' item in the menus.. [21:02] fubarru: so make sure that image is not corrupted. [21:02] gnea: so what do I do now? I do not quite understand [21:02] fubarru: do you see the ubuntu boot menu come up? [21:02] no [21:02] hey how u guys doin! [21:02] Dr_Willis, ok thank you [21:02] moshe: To make sure I understand the problem. Right now grub on the hard drive doesn't load (what does happen?) and all you have for recovery is an old / somewhat bad pclinuxOS liveCD. Correct? [21:02] justine777w: it might be easier to just pastebin it.... do you have the pastebinit command installed? [21:02] freaky[t]: but even then.. it dosent let you change EVERYTHING [21:02] fubarru: did you select boot to boot from your usb drive?

[21:10] happyface: something like shred -xuvz /dev/hda [21:10] it used to work [21:10] ? [21:10] Jordan_U: When i give root arg it crashes [21:10] justine777w: okay, it is 2518 bytes, which means it has text in it. however, it does not have world-read permissions, so we need to make sure that you can read it. what is the output of the id command?

[21:12] gnea: no problem..I am just glad it is working. [21:12] Shiny_: its most likely overheated [21:12] justine777w: :) [21:13] Gnea: my objective is to disable broadcasting [21:13] ruro_: yes, but WHY? [21:13] Seems I'm having trouble due to rain. [21:13] moshe: Then pass the kernel parameter "iso-scan/filename=/path/to/ubuntu.iso" [21:13] moshe: have you tried boot options like noacpi? there should be a list if you press shift on boot [21:13] Gnea: because I fear for my security [21:13] happyface: so that'd work ? [21:13] k [21:13] Daniel1: the dd command you gave is in no way a "low level format" ... [21:13] ruro_: then: sudo ifconfig eth0 down [21:13] ruro_: seriously. [21:14] guntbert: and how is a low level format!? [21:14] ruro_: if you fear that much for your security, disconnect it from the network altogether. [21:14] ruro_: how would broadcasting affect your security? [21:14] Daniel1: usually you need specialized tools from the hd manufacturere to do a proper "low level" format [21:14] Jordan_U: What path shoukd i give since it wont mountanything [21:14] banished: broacasting sends packets to every individual on the network [21:14] ruro_: because BROADCAST is a basic, required function for network layers to operate. [21:14] moshe: Do you only have the one external drive or do you also have an extra flash drive or something else? If you only have one drive you may have some problems installing to the partition containing the iso you're booting from. [21:15] ruro_: it only sends meaningless data, not personal data. [21:15] Daniel1: no done at all - harddisks hide their inner structure nowadays :-) (may I PM you?) [21:15] *not [21:15] erUSUL: Ok. [21:15] moshe: The path relative to the root of the partition. It will mount and search all partitions for a file with that path. [21:15] ruro_: all a broadcast is saying is "hi, I'm on the network" so that it is able to talk to other computers on a whim [21:15] gnea or something: How make it if its overheat? [21:15] Gnea: what about multicast [21:15] guntbert: about that [21:15] Jordan_U: its a usb flash iam booting from and exgernal hd i want to setup ubuntu on [21:15] [ubuntu] How many primary partitions (on one disk) does ubuntu supports? [21:16] um I'm at http:www.g15tools.com and I'm trying to download the needed interfaces for my keyboard and I can't find anything that says "download" [21:16] Shiny_: if the system is overheating, maybe it's time it was taken apart and aired out [21:16] moshe: Ok, then there should be no issue there. [21:16] i need to recover some missing space from my hard drive. [21:16] Spofer: 4, but thats a general limitation, not ubuntus [21:16] Daniel1: no, about another thing [21:16] ruro_: multicast isn't required, you should be fine without it [21:16] hello everyone [21:16] error copying or make files to the external disk [21:16] hmkay [21:16] Shiny_: or maybe it just needs a few fan [21:16] Jordan_U: What iso payh sould i give since it wont mout anything [21:16] Input/output error [21:16] can anyone help me setting up my iBurst on ubuntu 10 ?

I think I need to reinstall / reconfigure my drivers, how do I do this? [22:00] Pilif12p, ok heres a site w step by step, look it over and lemme know if u need more help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [22:00] * Pilif12p would like TinyGrab for Linux though :P [22:01] lenneth: what graphic card are you using? [22:01] nvidia 8800GTS, I believe [22:01] it's nvidia based. [22:02] lenneth: have you installed the driver? [22:02] help problem with external drive input output error [22:02] Yes, ubuntu was working about a day ago [22:02] duffydack: That would have helped narrow it down, btw, it happens on 10.04 and 10.10 [22:02] does anyone have the evolution mail settings for live mail? [22:02] lenneth: have you installed it manually from nvidia.com or using the driver utilityß [22:02] elijah, happened on them all for me.. from what I remember anyway [22:02] elijah, maybe mine is just 'old' and weird [22:02] driver utility === ubuntu is now known as bialy115 === Sgeo is now known as Rule34Quotes [22:03] Zelozelos: link again, please? [22:03] lenneth: and it worked to begin with? [22:03] banished, yep [22:03] firefox is being crashy [22:03] polleri, you will need TuxOnIce to suspend-to-disk using a swap-file [22:03] elijah, something Ive never tried is completely disabling the touchpad.... hmmm [22:03] i can't unselected mount file system in read-only [22:03] banished, when I run sudo apt-get install nvidia-current it says I have 9 not updated [22:03] banished, how do I update these? [22:03] ppq, thanks [22:04] lenneth: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:04] I would like to clean up my /tmp directory and would like to know what things need to stay and what doesnt? [22:04] elijah, in fact, I remember installing the proper synaptics driver for my laptop fixed a similar issue in windows.. damn, my memory comes and goes [22:04] can anyone help me with this? [22:04] pilif12pisangry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [22:04] i think u can leave the s out [22:04] slooksterpsv: Holly Shit! I had no idea it was THAT easy to reset a password in Ubuntu . . . that almost scares me a bit . . . that seems rather insecure! [22:04] xbonesx, /tmp gets wiped every time you boot. [22:04] elijah, the touchpad worked without it but installing the one from my manufacturer seemed to fix the issue. is your pc a laptop ? [22:05] * duffydack installed gpointing-device-settings [22:05] whats the code to change the sides of the close button and shit [22:05] polleri, i guess you have to patch your kernel and build it by yourself for tuxonice [22:05] misteralexander: well, you can always reset your password booting from a cd and overwrite the one on the hdd unless you encrypt the disc, same on windows [22:05] banished, I'll update and reboot [22:05] misteralexander - yeah it is that easy, but you can lock it down as well as lock down other methods of getting into the system to change passwords [22:05] KabukiOrigin: rly? wow i didnt know that? [22:05] does anyone have the evolution mail settings for live mail pleeeaaaassseeee? [22:05] physical access is the most dangerous access one has to a computer [22:06] okay... firefox is crashing non-stop :( [22:06] polleri, but that sounds more complicated than it actually is, there's tons of doc about this. look in the ubuntu wiki or so [22:06] Zelozelos: can you send me the link again? [22:06] elit3m1ke: the necesary pop3 and smtp settings are probably documented in their faq [22:06] moshe: Try making some free space with System > Administration > Gparted. If that doesn't help then I think you likely have a GUID partition table with no partitions, which can be fixed with a utility called "gdisk". [22:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [22:06] ubuntu is making me crazy D: [22:06] ppq, thanks i guess i'll me reading about it [22:06] xbonesx: If it's not emptied, do a restart, then go in and wipe what's there (as root if necessary) and restart again. [22:06] will vim work with python in xubuntu? [22:06] Psyclone: sure [22:07] banished : what else can it compile [22:07] xbonesx: It's similar to Windows \Windows\temp, but isn't persistent.

I am using 10.04 on eee 1001 px. Microphone isn't working. How to fix this? [22:07] banished, still didnt work, stuck in low graphics mode [22:07] Psyclone: vim won't compile enything, it's just an editor [22:07] lenneth: can you paste dmesg?

[22:07] KabukiOrigin: just curious cuz im downloading themes using gstyle and the files are stored their. I dont want them to pile up... [22:07] banished : what compiler do you reccomend that i use? [22:07] what the difference between UNE and desktop edition? [22:08] banished : for a novice [22:08] Jordan_U: it's funny gpart said it's not allocated at all but u ubuntu mounted it and I can see my files [22:08] banished, I can't do much, I can't even log in to X [22:08] Psyclone: there are not that much python compillers, you can also interpret it [22:08] !python | Psyclone [22:08] Psyclone: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ [22:08] Psyclone, you dont need a "compiler" for python actually [22:09] Does anyone know what emerald is? I noticed that one of my themes came with a emerald folder? [22:09] xbonesx, it's a fancy windows manager [22:09] moshe: Ok, "sudo apt-get install gdisk" and "sudo gdisk /dev/sda". I'm betting you have an msdos (also know as "mbr") partition table and a GUID partition table (GPT). [22:09] interesting, im just starting to learn the language [22:09] isnt there a way to resize cario-dock applets w a key [22:09] moshe: I have to leave again but I'm confident this problem can be solved and I'll be back. [22:09] duffydack: I disable my touchpad whenever I have the mouse plugged in and my mouse still jumps all over [22:09] xbonesx, replacing metacity. it's designed to be used with compiz [22:09] Jordan_U: thanks alot [22:10] what the difference between UNE and desktop edition? anyone [22:10] lenneth: dmesg | pastebinit [22:10] ppq: ah so i need to use gstyle to install or can i manually isntall those files myself? [22:10] elijah, the default mouse properties doesnt disable it truly. [22:10] xbonesx, when you dont use emerald you dont need an emerald theme [22:10] xbonesx: Just looked up gstyle - neat. It's probably fine. Check it after a restart and make sure it's clean, then forget about it. [22:11] kneaux: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts .. manipulate this gconf key and you would still have all other gnome settings including per window layouts [22:11] mamece2, the netbook edition is better when you have a low resolution, for example 1024x600 [22:11] ilovefairuz, you're a lifesaver [22:11] There is no package disk? [22:11] KabukiOrigin: it is very neat, it handles the files for you. :) [22:12] Gdisk === Rule34Quotes is now known as Sgeo [22:12] mamece2, in the standard ubuntu desktop there are some dialogues that are too big to fit on such a little resolution [22:12] !info gdisk | moshe [22:12] ppq: so emerald is something that can be activated using compiz? [22:12] moshe: gdisk (source: gdisk): GPT fdisk text-mode partitioning tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.1-1 (lucid), package size 52 kB, installed size 156 kB [22:13] xbonesx: you can use emerald as an alternative to your gnome decorator when using compiz, but it's not there by default [22:13] xbonesx, it has to be installed first. do you know what a windows manager does? [22:13] ppq, so the change is only in the resolution? i've got a regular laptop, could desktop run normally in a regular size laptop? i just dont like the tabs, it looks childish [22:13] E: could t find package gdisk [22:13] how do I see what video card driver X currently has loaded? [22:14] blue_anna: lspci -k [22:14] mamece2, sure, you can use the normal ubuntu for that [22:14] ppq, ok theres the problem i already did a partition and installed UNE, if i install the desktop version will i lose everything ive done in UNE? [22:14] mamece2, it's good for notebooks too. the "desktop" thing is just to make clear that it is a live-cd [22:14] ilovefairuz, how do you edit the keys from the command line [22:15] ppq: ya ive been messing with the themes, i downloaded some packages from gnome art .com and opened them and started studying the xml files, learning how it sets up the themes... is that what you asking? [22:15] Hi guys, Can I ask a quick kinda weird question? [22:15] mamece2, you can simply switch the interface. just install ubuntu-desktop package [22:15] banished, that does tell me the kernel driver, but is there any guarantee that it is the Xorg driver as well? [22:15] hello room [22:15] kneaux: gconftool-2 [22:15] ppq, can i install from UNE the desktop package and thats all? [22:15] i need help getting my wirelless adapter to work [22:15] cool thanks [22:15] banished: where do i get emerald, synaptic package manager? [22:15] mamece2, yep [22:16] blue_anna: well, you can check lsmod, but there shoudn't be that much of a diference [22:16] xbonesx: yes [22:16] !emerald | xbonesx [22:16] xbonesx: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [22:16] mamece2, for later there's also an applet that helps switching between the normal ubuntu and the netbook interface [22:16] hi [22:16] ppq, excellent!! THANK YOU!, u r better than hours lookin at forums. i almost bleed tryng to make amarok play mp3 :( [22:16] banished: ah, ok i wonder why "gstyle" still uses it then???

[22:42] oh [22:42] si [22:42] sweetpi, that does not work [22:42] banished I will try it; but its not an image its just .avi file Its a cheer competition and I know its probably dumb to you guys but important to me but thank you for your help [22:42] Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes [22:42] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders [22:42] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [22:42] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [22:42] I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [22:42] hello girls and boys [22:42] dk12548: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:42] Disk identifier: 0x0e2c0e2b [22:42] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [22:42] quiero saber si hay alguna persona de chile [22:42] Bye [22:42] sweetpi, that does not work [22:43] rodrigoValdivia, originalmente de Colombia - encontrara a alquien de chile, estoy seguro. [22:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/500590/ [22:43] Hey thankyou everyone [22:44] hello === Mortchek_ is now known as Mortchek [22:44] dk12548, you installed ubuntu on a seperate partition [22:44] dk12548, not on the windows partition [22:44] is it so :-[ [22:45] greezmunkey: you still here? [22:45] mkanyicy: what makes you think it didnt work? [22:45] sweetpi, echo blah >&2 2> /dev/null was not silent [22:45] Now, a question to you all. I have remote viewing setup on my Ubuntu box. Whenever I try to realvnc into it, its REALLY laggy. This box has great processing power, so I dont think thats the issue. <-- any ideas? [22:45] ppq how can i figure it ? i dont know how to read a ubuntu partition table [22:46] lenneth: the network bandwith is probably the issue [22:46] anyone have issue with the install cd not booting? I checked the md5sum [22:46] judgepg: yes, let me recap - you have three machines, a, b, and c...A cannot connect to b and c, right [22:46] dk12548, sda1-sda10 are the partitions on your disk [22:46] banished: the machine is next to my foot [22:46] banished its connected over LAN [22:46] ppq: ok [22:47] ppq: and how can i figure out that window is not on the same partition [22:47] hello, i just installed 10.10 on a netbook but i do not have a menu and i can not work with programs, i just see a photo on my desktop. help please [22:47] dk12548, it just isn't. simply because it's impossible to install ubuntu and windows on the same partition. [22:47] Veliouras, #ubuntu+1 for that [22:47] sweetpi, so that means that 'echo blah >&2' goes to stdin only [22:47] lenneth: vnc is slow, but you can reduce what is sent over the network like removing wall papers, changing how it polls objects, etc. play with it to get the best performance. [22:47] ok thanks [22:48] hi, should a standard maverick install include translations for en_gb, en_au, en_za, etc.. I think I only selected "English" and set my timezone to a US zone. [22:48] ppq: i understand but still a problem, i want to install ubuntu once again by deleting all this one [22:48] goodmami, #ubuntu+1 for maverick [22:48] hi everyone, what would cause a ubuntu machine to not get an ipv4 address? [22:48] bazhang: oh right, sorry about that [22:48] greezmunkey: B is the samba host (vm). A (vm) cannot connect to B. C (vm) can connect to B [22:49] ppq:so how can i know which partiotion to delete to remove whole ubuntu? [22:49] greezmunkey: Sorry, MachineC is a physical machine and can connect to B (vm that is hosting the Samba shares) [22:49] dk12548, just have a look ok what you nopasted [22:49] hi [22:49] dk12548, http://paste.ubuntu.com/500590/ sda9 and sda10 are your linux partitions [22:50] judgepg: did you create a samba user on B for A? [22:50] ppq: i am looking at it, now how can i delete sda 9 and sda 10? [22:50] anyone know an alternative to agnclient [22:50] popcorn [22:51] ppq: u know there is no sda on windows. it shows only 6 partition there [22:51] greezmunkey: I created a generic samba user. See this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ [22:51] dk12548, if you want to re-install ubuntu, you should boot the ubuntu cd (or usb) and do the partitioning by ourself. you just have to set sda9 to be mounted as / and sda10 as swap [22:52] greezmunkey: then I connect from the client machine as: smbclient -L IP_address -U samba_user [22:52] do it delete this ubuntu? [22:53] ppq: can't i install 10.10 version? [22:53] judgepg: copy the error again please [22:53] dk12548, it will ask if you want to format the selected partitions - just say yes [22:53] oh [22:53] dk12548, of course you can but you should stick to 10.04 until 10.10 is released. per definition its not stable yet [22:53] good Idea, I'll google the failed upgrade. [22:54] ppq, a related question - I have a Thinkpad where I installed ubuntu in the ntfs partition - how does this work? [22:54] while i am waiting on devede to download does anyone want to chat [22:54] greezmunkey: smbclient -L ip_address -U user [22:54] greezmunkey: Connection to 10.10.10.7 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_ABORTED)Connection to 10.10.10.7 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_ABORTED) [22:54] <[zaf]-Coral> Hi ladies/gentleman, I am wanting to know how the aptitude scoring works [22:54] Is there something like Textmate on Ubuntu? I already use Vim atm. [22:54] greezmunkey: Sorry, double post. [22:54] ppq:i know they will be much stabler than this one, it has become a pain in the ass for me:( [22:55] intrader, it's not possible. please nopaste your 'sudo fdisk -l' too [22:55] i performed lots of experiments on this one [22:55] dk12548, a fresh install of 10.04 will be fine [22:56] no more icechat... [22:56] ppq: so i have to chose custum installation during the install isnt it? [22:56] this this is piece of crap :/ [22:56] dk12548, do you use the graphical installer= [22:56] ppq: yes [22:56] greezmunkey: Have a look at the the output when I add some debugging to the connect: http://pastebin.com/ryeL4HTX [22:56] intrader: it's impossible to install ubuntu under windows without even wubi ;) [22:57] ok, one more time, I hope the last one, since I'm on a debian server, so nothing should freeze now... [22:57] <[zaf]-Coral> Anybody ? Does any1 know how the aptitude scoring works [22:57] ppq, I will do so - the starting point for the install was XP - then the install installed grub and I currently can boot either OS [22:57] <[zaf]-Coral> other than positive is good and negative is bad in general [22:57] astrojp, what is textmate? [22:57] i dont know how to install using a command line interface [22:57] dk12548, at some point during the installation progress (i'm sure it's after you selected your language) it will present you a fance window with a recommended partitioning [22:57] what version of Ubuntu should I install on an old box with Celeron 566, 256MB RAM and 4GB HDD? [22:57] dk12548, at that point you can say "no, i do it by myself" [22:58] <_DGM_> d_v: maybe 7 or something.. though i'd look for a lighter distribution [22:58] mkanyicy: textmate is an text editor for macs. [22:58] ppq: thanks bro for that info. i will try to do it:) [22:58] intrader, ubuntu-installer created another partition for ubuntu. it's NOT the same your windows is on :) [22:58] dk12548, np [22:59] Nice to know that ubuntu upgrades fail just as hard as windows upgrades. if not worse. [22:59] astrojp, ok, there is gedit if you are using gnome, kate if you are using kubuntu or mousepad if you are using xubuntu [22:59] dk12548, you confused me with that ubuntu-and-windows-one-partition-thung [22:59] ppq: also isnt there a way to reinstall all the system files of ubuntu [22:59] judgepg: can you ping the macine you are trying to connect to? [22:59] I though about it, DGM, but it'll be a comp for an older person for web browsing only, and I need something pretty easy and straight-forward... [22:59] ppq: i mean without formatting [22:59] I tried to install 7.10, but it gavce me the finger :/ [23:00] I think I found something (http://redcareditor.com/) but it needs Java. I don't have Java on here, what's the easiest way to install it on Ubuntu. [23:00] astrojp, kate has advanced features, gnome isnt bad either, mousepad is fast and simple [23:00] ppq: cause i know formatting is not the slolution i can have this problem once again in the near futerre [23:00] future [23:00] d_v: lubuntu 10.10 [23:00] savanah_14: this channel is for support conversations only - but there is #ubuntu-offtopic :) [23:00] thanks guntbert [23:00] greezmunkey: yup, no problems. I've disabled firewall, and I've commented out anything in hosts.allow and hosts.deny [23:01] Has anyone ran into the Hard drive light always being on problem in Ubuntu 10.04? [23:01] dk12548, no, because the config and everything remains [23:01] greezmunkey: yup = yes I can ping the IP, and I can also ssh into it so the services are fine [23:01] dk12548, and that's what's messed up [23:01] Cassull: are you sure it will work on a crap like that? it's really old box, at least 10y old... [23:01] anyone know an alternative to agnclient [23:01] hi what file do I edit to keep acpi=off from being removed despite changing kernels or upgrading? [23:01] judgepg: let me check my smb.conf... [23:01] ppq: but then i would say windows is far more better than linux :(( [23:02] <|multipass|> are there any problems with KDE is GNOME better at some things? [23:02] greezmunkey: kind of you, thanks [23:02] dk12548, this is your opinion. :) [23:02] I have a netbook with no CD drive... can I use an SD card instead of a usb flash drive as the installation medium? [23:02] you can like whatever you want [23:02] d_v: np, lubuntu is a realy economicall distri [23:02] ppq: yeah [23:02] <_DGM_> kazagistar: yes you can :) i can confirm it works fine === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [23:02] d_v: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lubuntu === dumbstupidhuman is now known as jpg [23:02] i am having trouble reading a file off of a dvd, it says cannot read from resource, what do i do? [23:02] ok, thanks a lot, Cass, I'll try that right away [23:03] judgepg: while I do that, check in /var/log/samba - see if there is an entry for the machine that is trying to connect... [23:03] d_v: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu [23:03] anybody know how i can install the drivers for my alps touchpad? [23:03] <_DGM_> kazagistar: as long as the netbook wants to boot from sd its fine. However.. it might spam you with a lot of "cant read" stuff.. you can safely ignore it or disable "floppy disk emulation" in the bios.. either way it will install just fine [23:03] _DGM_: Ok, I will try it then, thanks [23:03] d_v: np, you are welcome [23:03] i think i should go for fedora rather than ubuntu :( [23:03] greezmunkey: I will do that. Also, here is the [global] section of smb.conf on my machine if it helps: http://pastebin.com/VEsuQuLs [23:03] great, that's just what I needed :) [23:03] dk12548, ubuntu isn't designed for risky experiments, it's rather designed to be stable once it's configured correctly [23:04] but i want to do experiment to learn [23:04] thanks again, and have a great day/evening/night ;) [23:04] dk12548, fedora is more bleeding-edge but also not so stable. ok, if you want to learn- and if you have *lots* of time - LFS is for you :) [23:05] ppq: u know i installed kdm and since then the problem started [23:05] what is LFS? [23:05] ppq, ubuntu shows up a file in the XP, fdisk -l shows /dev/sda1 HPFS/NTFS and /dev/sda2 ---'Compac diagnostics' [23:05] dk12548, linux from scratch [23:05] greezmunkey: I have nothing in /etc/samba/log.smbd and /etc/samba/log.nmbd [23:05] judgepg: you can try adding this, modify for your needs: " hosts allow = 192.168.11., 192.168.10., 10.42.43., 127. " [23:05] anybody with a pavilion dv 6000 [23:05] judgepg: ^^ [23:05] ppq: that kdm just banged my whole ubuntu :( [23:05] i have a sound problem [23:06] i wont install kubuntu ever :( [23:06] greezmunkey: let me give that a spin and let you know. Thanks brother [23:06] anybody get the alps touchpad to work in a sony vaio? [23:06] how many cycles of a new laptop battery before the power meter outputs the true capacity? [23:07] intrader, oh, ok, then you installed with wubi. this means that you have a file in windows that contains an ext4 filesystem. ubuntu is installed on it. this means: ubuntu and windows on the same partition but not in the same filesystem [23:07] the sound in a pavilion dv6000 is crash [23:07] someone has the same problem? [23:07] ppq, df shows a /host system on /dev/sda1 [23:07] ppq: isnt it possible that i extract all files from the iso of ubuntu and just replace is in somewhere [23:07] Anyone know if there is an Alternative to Jackd ? [23:08] dk12548, no, it's not, this will totally break your system [23:08] ppq, it looks like ubuntu is using ntfs [23:08] mkanyicy: you should have said what you wanted to do.. "command &>/dev/null" will do what you want [23:08] intrader, type 'mount' - there you see what's the filesystem of / [23:09] ppq: u told me to keep my sda9 as / and sda as swap would the installed ask me that? [23:09] installer * [23:09] ppq, /host/ubuntu/disks/too.disk on / type ext3 ----> not ntfs - stand corrected [23:10] anyways thanks for the help ppq [23:10] 10.04.1 = current stable 0r 10.04.1 = testing beta [23:10] i hve to go now [23:10] see ya [23:10] dk12548, you have to enter the partitioning programm during installation as i said. np [23:10] <[zaf]-Coral> anybody ? [23:10] ppq, most interesting and than you [23:10] enyawix: current stable [23:11] judgepg: Here are the pertinent entries I have: http://paste.ubuntu.com/500600/ [23:11] moshe: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo gdisk /dev/sda"? [23:11] <[zaf]-Coral> 1359 peeps ... nobody know anything about apt scoring ? [23:11] sweetpi, what i want to do is to echo text to stderr output without to stdout. stderr is 2> and stdout is 1> or just > so if I silence 2> by /dev/null, then I should not get anything printed on terminal [23:11] intrader, np [23:11] !patience | [zaf]-Coral [23:11] [zaf]-Coral: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [23:11] will the boot issues be fixed? [23:11] Jordan_U: it says that I have mbr but not GNP [23:11] enyawix, 10.04 is the stable ubuntu release [23:12] enyawix, 10.10 is unstable atm [23:12] moshe: Can you pastebin the exact output?

[23:12] <[zaf]-Coral> guntbert, 5 min or so between my q's .. I think that is pretty reasonable considering the amount of peeps in the chan .. questions get lost easily [23:12] enyawix, 10.04.1 is just an updated 10.04 [23:12] sweetpi, so, any ideas now? [23:12] mkanyicy: I think your test case is just wrong. "echo foo 1>&2>&2>/dev/null [23:12] greezmunkey: let me try making a few changes accordingly. Unfortunately, not much luck with adding hosts allow yet [23:13] Jordan_U: cant you hold it won't loadup again trying to fix [23:13] [zaf]-Coral: make it more towards 10 minutes and drop the " 1359 peeps ... nobody know " attitude :-) [23:13] judgepg: you restarted samba after editing, right?? [23:13] mkanyicy: which would be the same as &>/dev/null [23:14] greezmunkey: I sure hope. service smbd restart. I think in 10.04, it uses upstart, so I couldn't run /etc/init.d/samba restart [23:14] judgepg: either should work [23:15] anyone familiar with emerald and would be willing to help me out... [23:15] Is there any Alternative instead of using Jackd? [23:15] Anyone, GtkPerf slow or fast? on my Dell/Inspiron 8200 has gotten much slower in ubuntu 10.04- on thinkpad on 9.04, I get 23.75 [23:15] sweetpi, I think I got what is confusing me. stderr and stdout are the same on terminal ... am i right? [23:16] judgepg: download and install wireshark into the VM samba host, see if you can run that against the virtual NIC to see what is going on "on the wire" That may give a clue as well. [23:16] mkanyicy: sweetpi is correct, to be a valid test you need to run the command in a subshell, like "(echo test >&2) 2> /dev/null" [23:16] greezmunkey: I will do that next. I suspect it may have something to do with it being a virtualbox vm [23:17] greezmunkey: seems strange that physical machines can get in, but a vm cannot. It's using a bridged IP from the host [23:17] * gnubu test [23:17] sweetpi, Jordan_U thanks a lot good people, and Jordan_U that test case confirmed it all ... IT WORKS! [23:18] mkanyicy: You're welcome. === ilia_ is now known as ilia__ [23:18] greezmunkey: Here is my goal. I'd like to mount a remote filesystem. I've used sshfs, but the problem is, it quickly eats up all the memory and beings swapping. I'm trying samba as an alternative. [23:18] Btw Jordan_U is it safe to fix it that way?

[23:41] urm... [23:41] Can I ask a question? [23:41] <_DGM_> dont ask to ask just ask [23:41] Ok. Thank you. [23:42] Anyone know what the network.o error 1 is?

[23:42] sry [23:42] mooshimuushi: where does that error occur? a little more information is needed [23:42] Give me a second. [23:43] Where do you guys set up your GIT repositories on your local machine? [23:43] How much swap should i set for reg use? [23:43] moshe: I read somewhere no more than 1GB [23:43] Happens when I enter in "make" [23:43] after ./configure [23:43] moshe, if you wish to use suspend to disk and have more than 512mb ram then swap should be the size of the ram [23:43] I'm on a 10.04 pc which I just started up after not using it for a long time. I need to download lots of updates but my dialup modem is too slow. Is there a way to create a list I can take to the wifi place and download just the files on a usb stick w/ wget? [23:43] elijah: whereever I like? :D but I guess you mean where you host it. I've been using github, and it's pretty much the best you'd get [23:44] <_DGM_> mooshimuushi: you need to be even more specific then that.. it depends on what your'e trying to compile [23:44] mooshimuushi: what exactly are you trying to build? [23:44] !swap | moshe [23:44] moshe: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:44] wormux-0.8 [23:44] MashPotato: No, I mean best practice on your local computer [23:44] what do i type to get rid of installed packages that arent needed anymore, but not get rid of the packages that were downloaded and stored in /var/ directory? [23:44] i know what swap is, i have 4gb which is alot... so set swap to 4gb? [23:44] elijah: cd /your/local/directory; touch foo; git init; git add foo; # voila? [23:45] can anyone help me with airodump ? [23:45] moshe, does your ram usage ever went above 2gb? [23:45] moshe, yes, i think 4GB of swap will be enough. [23:45] yes it went over 2gb [23:45] MashPotato: Like, somebody was showing me how to install the Android SDK and we put it in /opt/Android and same with the JDK etc. [23:45] mooshimuushi: wormux is in the repositories, why do you try to build it manually? [23:45] sometimes i get over 70% mem usage [23:45] moshe, ok then you probably will need full 4gb swap [23:45] elijah: yes, but what's the problem? [23:46] <_DGM_> moshe: as long as you dont reach 100 you're fine really [23:46] mooshimuushi: sudo aptitude install wormux [23:46] MashPotato: Somebody else asked a while back and someone said something about putting it outside teh home directory and sym linking it, not sure why but maybe something to do with updates [23:46] MashPotato: Right now the internet is capped. So I got it unmetered (normal download speed) from Internode (My ISP). [23:46] MashPotato: I was just wanting to know the best practice [23:46] does anyone know how to get rid of packages that are installed but not need anymore because of the removal of programs? [23:46] elijah: can't really agree, my android-sdk and ndk reside in $HOME/opt instead of /opt, and it works quite well [23:46] MashPotato: I will install in ~ for now, I guess I can move it later, I am doing some GIT tutorials [23:46] _DGM_ cant reach 100% your computer will crash [23:47] <_DGM_> isn't that what i just said xD [23:47] elijah: install it in $HOME/opt [23:47] MashPotato:work.Tpo"; exit 1; fi [23:47] cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors [23:47] network/network.cpp: In static member function ‘static void Network::Send(_TCPsocket*&, const int&)’: [23:47] network/network.cpp:548: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [23:47] network/network.cpp: In static member function ‘static int Network::ReceiveInt(_SDLNet_SocketSet*&, _TCPsocket*&, int&)’: [23:47] mooshimuushi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:48] Thankyo ubottu [23:48] elijah: historically, "opt" meant "optional", as in, optional software, and that's what android is, optional, local software [23:48] ubuntu is light [23:48] but i guess ill use vmware to run my games that dosent work on this [23:48] !bot | mooshimuushi [23:48] mooshimuushi: Hi!

[23:49] moshe, games in a vm? that wont work [23:49] xbonesx, sudo apt-get autoremove [23:49] xbonesx: use aptitude instead of apt-get, handles it automatically [23:49] MashPotato:http://paste.ubuntu.com/500616/ [23:49] hi all, anyone know how to get acroread plugin working in firefox? [23:50] or even where to find acroread? [23:50] mooshimuushi: right, the code is pretty much broken, if wormux uses a bugtracker, try to report it as a bug [23:50] I mean the plugin version for firefox? [23:50] trijntje: will that remove the packages from the /var/cache/apt/archive folder? [23:50] trel, i guess it's in canonical's partner reoisitory [23:50] ppq it did work for me before = [23:50] ppq, how do I enable the partner repo? [23:51] cuz i still want to keep the downloaded packages just remove them from the system... [23:51] MashPotato: Thanks for the education [23:51] MashPotato: So it isn't my computers fault. It's the file that I downloaded? [23:51] ok i'm having an upstart network problem - with verbose init enabled it says "networking state changed from post-stop to waiting" [23:51] moshe, ok, nevermind. newer games wont work [23:51] "Handling stopped event" [23:51] and then the boot process freezes [23:51] ppq yeah newer games wont work. [23:51] xbonesx, I dont know, I only know it removes packages that were installed as dependencies of other packages [23:51] elijah: are you being sarcastic? I thought it was pretty obvious, but I don't mind to tell people what they like to know :P [23:52] mooshimuushi: yes, it's the fault of wormux, not yours [23:52] trel, put this in your /etc/apt/sources.list in a new line: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner [23:52] trel, then run 'sudo apt-get update' and search for acroread again [23:52] ok who needs help =D [23:52] MashPotato: Ok. Thank you very much :) [23:52] <_DGM_> damnit i keep reading here and then keep forgetting what i was doing in the first place === Sup|Lobby is now known as MePHiSTo1 [23:53] _DGM_ lol [23:53] slooksterpsv, me [23:53] MashPotato: No, I was being serious, thanks, I really enjoy knowing that stuff [23:53] Dice-Man - whats up? [23:53] slooksterpsv, i want the basics about compiling different sources [23:53] -.- [23:53] Dice-Man do you have a specific item that you're compiling? [23:53] oh no [23:53] lord envoy [23:54] i want "general basics" [23:54] Dice-Man like how to compile this or that, if you download the source? [23:54] <_DGM_> ./configure make && make install [23:54] Isn't there a website for installing things? [23:54] slooksterpsv, yep [23:54] <_DGM_> but you can generally just read the README file that comes with it for compile instructions [23:54] Something Monkeyblog? [23:54] <_DGM_> theres no generic way of doing it.. there is make, automake, cmake, custom scripts etc. etc. [23:54] hum ok [23:55] compiling is not tough stuff [23:55] Dice-Man - _DGM_'s got it that's how you do it - if it doesn't have the configure or makefile or that you have to play it by ear [23:55] <_DGM_> it really depends on the language used, and the developer itself.. for example compiling second life is totally different from anything i've seen before [23:55] often you can use checkinstall instead ok make install, this will install the program in a cleaner way [23:56] (you can remove it with dpkg -r or even apt-get later) [23:56] <_DGM_> i dont make install 90% of the time unless i have to. It keeps my system a lot cleaner [23:56] python is easy, you don't compile python scripts really, just python filename.py === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [23:56] guys question for you all [23:56] ALGUN AMIGO ESPAÑOL [23:56] ppq, thanks for the suggestions. I did exactly that befure using synaptic and repeated it using command line and I'm still not able to see acroread-plugins or mozilla-acroread [23:57] Dmitriny - 42 [23:57] !es | zo7o [23:57] zo7o: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:57] Dmitriy - lol jk what's ur question? [23:57] GRACIAS AMIGO MUY AMABLE [23:57] has anyone downloaded a file on ubuntu and then saw on windows that it was 0kb? [23:57] <_DGM_> or just learn to speak english like the rest of the world xD [23:57] Dice-Man:http://amitech.50webs.com/installing/index.php.html [23:57] any suggestions? [23:57] Dmitriy: you may have saved it to the wrong location? what was the file called [23:57] ok thanks [23:57] Dmitriy - where is the filed saved? [23:58] external hard drive [23:58] hum what is the best compiler mean the one which can handle most of sources ? [23:58] Dice-Man: An all-rounder. === MePHiSTo1 is now known as SuP|Lobby [23:58] Dmitriy - whats the filesystem of the external drive, ntfs, fat32, ext2, ext3, etc. [23:58] trel, tried mozplugger with regular acroread? [23:58] <_DGM_> maybe it didnt get a chance to flush the disk cache.. and then it didnt actually write it [23:58] ntfs [23:58] Dmitriy: was it saved to a location that windows could recognise before you were running linux? [23:58] <_DGM_> unmount the thing properly before rebooting [23:58] yes [23:58] ppq, that's a good idea.. .thanks for the suggestion! [23:58] because linux can read NTFS and just popped a file on there [23:58] thats it then [23:58] saved in wrong location [23:59] np [23:59] windows can see it too, thats it :) just delete it if it bothers you [23:59] it works fine sometimes [23:59] Dmitriy - usually I've seen this happen when I download a file but don't let it finish [23:59] mooshimuushi, yay ! thanks [23:59] Dmitriy: you say it was 0kb, what was it meant to be? [23:59] <_DGM_> like i said.. unmount the thign properly before rebooting to windows [23:59] mooshimuushi, i'm bored with synaptic [23:59] an mkv [23:59] Dmitriy - so I usually have a filename.part file as well [23:59] i like use the terminal
